14 – Reusable Blocks in WordPress

During this tutorial we are going to look at “Reusable Blocks in WordPress”. 

Firstly, I hear you ask, what is a Reusable Block in WordPress?  
According to wpbeginner.com “A reusable block in WordPress editor is a content block saved individually to be used later. Many bloggers often add the same content snippets in multiple articles such as call-to-actions at the end of the blog post or links to follow the blog in social media” 

To start you want to add a new post from your WordPress dashboard and then follow this simple step-by-step guide; 

1. Add New 

2. Enter a new Post Title  

3. Click the plus button to add blocks (Full tutorial on this in the articles mentioned below) 

4. Select Imagine  

5. Click Options (or the 3 dots) 

6. Select Add to Reusable blocks  

7. Enter a Name to Create your new Reusable Block 

8. Click Save  

Now your Reusable Block is ready to reuse across your website. To update the block, select one of the options in the top left-hand corner of the imagine. Your changes will apply everywhere you have used it.  

So, that’s how you create a Reusable Block in WordPress.
