GenerateBlocks 1.2.0 is a feature update that contains a handful of new features and ensures full compatibility with our huge GenerateBlocks 1.5.0 release.

Let’s take a look at what’s new.

Better Style Pasting

You can now copy styles from one block and then paste those styles to multiple blocks at once! This is a pretty big timesaver when it comes to sharing styles between blocks.

You can also now clear all styles from a block with a single click.

Global Style Improvements

You can now add labels to your Global Styles. These labels are displayed in the select dropdown when choosing a Global Style for a block, which can make it much easier to choose the right style.

You can also clear local styles from a block now when you give it a Global Style. This allows the full Global Style to take effect without having any local styles overwrite them.

Image Block Support

We’ve added some of our Pro features to the new Image Block in GenerateBlocks 1.5.0. This means you can now use features like Effects and Custom Attributes on our very own Image Block!

More Custom Attributes

You can now use our Custom Attributes feature on the Grid and Button Container blocks.

Template Library -> Pattern Library

We’ve changed the name of our Template Library to Pattern Library. This also means “Local Template” are now called “Local Patterns”.

We believe this name better describes what these patterns are, and this name change also brings us more in line with what WordPress core is calling them.
