Submit Your Blocs Feature Request for 2026 šŸ“¢

I agree with this 100% and think it would be best for the app overall, mentioned here.

This could easily drive more users to the app with such capabilities, I look forward to seeing this execution within Blocs – if implemented.

Hi Norm,

hope you’re doing well now :slightly_smiling_face:

Wishing you, the Blocs team, and the community a great and productive 2026. Thanks for opening this up for feedback.


Top 3 Blocs Feature Requests for 2026

1: Deeper WordPress Integration

• The current classic theme approach works really well and feels very stable

• Add hybrid editing, allowing selected Blocs-built sections to be editable as Gutenberg blocks in WordPress (design in Blocs, manage content in WordPress)

• More layout freedom for WordPress post / CPT loops (masonry, advanced grids, featured-first layouts, etc.)

• WordPress-controlled section / block visibility (enable/disable sections without removing them from the Blocs design. That would be ideal for staged launches or multi-client themes)

2: Multi-project & Multi-page Editing Workflow

• Ability to open multiple projects simultaneously

• Ability to work on multiple pages at the same time within a project

• Copy / paste elements or sections across pages and projects

3: WordPress Content Model Discovery (Plugin CPTs included)

• Automatically discover all WordPress content models via the Blocs WordPress Plug-in (core post types, custom post types, taxonomies, custom fields)

• Make plugin-generated CPTs (e.g. LMS Courses, WooCommerce Products, and similar plugin content) available inside Blocs

• Use these as loop sources with data binding (course/product listings, custom layouts, price, metadata, status fields, etc.)

• This would make Blocs a true production tool for plugin-driven WordPress sites, especially content-heavy setups

I’m also open to alternative workflows for LMSs, WooCommerce, and similar plugin-driven setups, if there’s a more Blocs-native way to approach this.


I think that Blocs is already a great and very capable tool for building regular websites and WordPress themes. Deeper WordPress awareness, better workflows, and full content model discovery would then elevate it into a true production tool for real-world, plugin-driven WordPress projects as well.

I realize each point groups a few closely related ideas together, but they all come from the same real-world production workflows.

It’s also great to see similar themes coming up from other community members around WordPress workflows and multi-project editing.

This would be great as Rapid Weaver allows multiple projects to be opened.

Yes, and workflow will be much easier too

less WordPress

If I want to create websites with WordPress, there are lots of good options online. Of course, they don’t come for free.

I would not like it if @Norm used some of his limited resources to add even more WordPress features.
Sure, it would sell well, but features such as multiple projects at the same time and copy and paste between them are more important.

Otherwise, Blocs will end up in the middle, satisfying neither WordPress professionals nor those who want to develop without WordPress. From my point of view, therefore, please less WordPress.

And I never use Wordpress, so those updates don’t draw me in or interest me at all, but lots on here do, and there seems to be a need, so let’s go wherever it takes us!

Honestly, no.

The entire selling point of Blocs Plus is that we’re able to create decent, fully optimized WordPress themes without having to revert to bloated pagebuilders like Elementor, Divi or any other pagebuilder.

There are only 2 applications that allow to create fully optimized WordPress themes and that’s Blocs and Pinegrow. I have a license on both, but Pinegrow really is not a pleasure to use.

Why can’t it be both? All of the css, html and javascript stuff that Norm is integrating for Blocs is also used for Blocs Plus. So yes, more WordPress please, but not at the cost of less of all the rest. WordPress is exactly what it needs to be, a plus to Blocs Plus for those of us wanting to build good WordPress themes and willing to pay a premium to have the functionality.

I just don’t get it, WP has so many ways to build projects. IMO, Blocs should focus on what it was built for. Focusing on WP is taking much needed updates and additional resources.

I agree with @brechtryckaert whole heartedly!!

The ability use a custom action to use a value to hide fields or make them required

consider a select drop down with the options

  • This
  • That
  • Other

If Other is selected a text field should be made visible.

Code Editor having full intelli-sense code completion, linting and syntactic highlighting for HTML, CSS, JS.

Hey @ZoomZoom the Interaction Manager already supports this in the latest version of Blocs 6.

  1. You can focus a text field + > Select > Focus Item.
  2. And you can toggle an element disabled/enabled + > Acton > Disable Element.
  3. There is also Toggle Visibility + > Action > Toggle Visibility.

Maybe you mean when a text field is edited it can call a custom interaction?

The code editor is not a development environment!
It doesn’t need to be.

If you need full IntelliSense code completion, linting, and syntactic highlighting, then VS Code is the right approach. And you can integrate your code as a project attachment.

But didn’t you want to switch to Pinegrow anyway?

I would like to suggest a feature that could be extremely valuable for advanced and professional users.

Having an optional tab or mode that allows limited code editing would be a great addition to Blocs. The idea would not be to turn Blocs into a full code editor, but to provide controlled access for small adjustments, fine tuning, and minor fixes that are sometimes required in real-world projects.

Even a scoped editor for HTML, CSS, or JavaScript at the page or component level would greatly improve flexibility, reduce the need for external workarounds, and help maintain clean and optimized output.

This kind of feature would empower power users while keeping the visual-first workflow that makes Blocs so strong and intuitive.

Thanks @Norm i don’t see how to trigger based on the change of the select value.

  • This
  • That
  • Other

If Other is selected I want to be able to unhide a ā€œtell me what ā€˜other’ isā€ field.

I haven’t figured out how a use the if statement to monitor the value of the select.

I would like to endorse this suggestion: Accessibility buttons

A button that directly opens accessibility options such as color contrast settings and font size adjustments and a overview with the accessibility problems.

Here goes one that gets addressed to often and for years. I think it’s about time to make it easy to move (connect, or re-connect) media assets for all projects. Whether it is in the cloud, the local storage or a flash drive.
How often to users lose important connection to their assets, including me :smile:

Agreed - even ā€˜Premiumā€ templates seem to be unable to locate some assets & fonts… really frustrating!

Controversial, but I’d like to see more 3rd party developers, (perhaps offer some more incentives)? Seems that there’s a very small ā€˜cartel’ of Blocs developers at present, (often charging high prices). Coming from Rapidweaver, there was always many options for Themes, Stacks etc… not all brilliant, but you could probably find 10-20 options for contact forms, galleries etc.

Lastly, I agree the preview options could do with an update. As a Mac App - why no iPad, iPhone, MBP options?
