The Post and Page Builder design system is based on the concept of WordPress Blocks. A Block is a section of content. A Page can include only 1 Block or as many as you would like. The Post and Page Builder includes a large set of professionally designed Blocks as a starting point. In this article we will show you how add and save BoldGrid Blocks using the Block Library.

Add a New BoldGrid Block

When adding content to a page or post or starting a new page or post from scratch it can be challenging to find a good starting point to work from. The Post and Page Builder gives you the ability to get started using pre-built blocks with sample content that you can edit to fit your needs. The steps below will walk you through the process of adding a new block.

  • In the Dashboard, navigate to Pages or Posts View All
  • Edit the Page or Post
  • Click the Add Block Button at the top of the Editor
  • On the left side of the screen you will see your page
  • Hover over a Block, or Section, and drag handles will appear to move the sections as needed
  • On the right side of the screen you will see available Blocks to add
  • There are two dropdowns at the top – Types and Category
  • With each new selection the available Blocks below will update
  • Hover over a Block and click + to Page to add to the top of the page
  • Premium Blocks are available to Premium Key users and are designated by a banner at the bottom of the block
  • Click on the directional arrows on the left of the Block to drag and drop into a specific location
  • Click the Check Mark Button in the top right to return to the Editor

If you’ve worked on a section of content that you want to re-use or that you want to save as a starting point for additional content on your site, you can save it as a block to your Block Library making it easy to add to a page or post any time.

  1. Is there a way to get a block to be inserted at the bottom of the post rather than the top? I am writing a long blog post and it’s frustrating to have to drag a new section from the very top to the very bottom each time I add one in.

    • Hi Danielle,

      The “Add Block” tools will add your new blocks at the top of the page. What I normally do is either build my pages from the bottom up or use the drag feature to drag the block to the bottom of the page.

      I hope this helps!

  2. Once I have used a Premium Block, how do I know which one it was? I don’t want to pay the cost to use Premium Blocks so now I have to go back and remove them.

    • Hi Amanda-

      If you do decide to cancel your subscription to the Premium Post and Page Builder, you won’t lose the premium blocks you’ve already used, you just won’t be able to add new premium blocks.

        • Hi Amanda-

          You may not have made a direct purchase, but if you use one of our Platinum WordPress Hosting partners, you may have a BoldGrid Premium license included in your hosting package. In any case, all of your existing content using premium blocks would not be affected if you ever switched to a free license.
