Introducing Ultimate Blocks – The Best Gutenberg Blocks Plugin For Bloggers

Introducing Ultimate Blocks

Since the creation of WordPress for over a decade now, it has been the same editor – the Classic Editor.

But with the release of WordPress 5.0, WordPress has introduced a new editor – the Gutenberg Editor. Since then, all the talk has been about the Gutenberg Editor.

While it has some amazing features, a significant number of WordPress users didn’t like it and switched back to Classic Editor. The active installations of Classic Editor say it all.

Whether you like it or not, Gutenberg is the future where WordPress is heading to.

The great thing about Gutenberg is, you can extend the functionalities of it by using a Gutenberg Blocks Plugin.

And the good news is, we have been developing a Gutenberg plugin for a while. Now it’s available on the WordPress repository.

It’s Ultimate Blocks. We have specially designed this plugin for bloggers.

Yes, it can help you to write better and engaging content. Here’s I’ll introduce you with Ultimate Blocks and all the features it offers.

Let starts get started.

An Introduction to Ultimate Blocks

Ultimate Blocks is a Gutenberg blocks plugin for bloggers and marketers. It currently gives you access to 17 blocks, with extra blocks being added regularly to make it the ultimate plugin for Gutenberg editor.

One of the things you’ll notice is that many of these functionalities (blocks) are available as a separate plugin. Now you don’t need to use multiple plugins to add things like table of contents, tabs, accordion, click to tweet, etc.

And the great part is, you can disable any of the blocks that you don’t want to keep your site faster.


Custom Gutenberg Blocks Offered by Ultimate Blocks

Ultimate Blocks extends the functionalities of Gutenberg editor by adding custom blocks. Currently, it has the following blocks.

Now let’s dive deep into each one of the blocks.

1. Table Of Contents

Since more people are going after creating longer and more-detailed guides to rank higher in Google, the need for a table of contents has increased. People started adding it to their ultimate guides to make it easier for readers to jump to where they want to read.

And not to mention that Google shows the table of contents links in SERPs.

There are a handful number of table of contents plugins available. But most of them are outdated. Even the most popular one (Table of Contents Plus) has not been updated for the last 3 years.

That’s why we have added an advanced ‘Table of Content’ block. It automatically generates the table of contents from post headings.

You can also configure things like –

  • Changing the name of the table of contents.
  • Showing table of contents in one, two, or even three columns.
  • Changing the list styles (Bullet, Numbered, and Plain styles).
  • Excluding headings (h1 – h6) from the table of contents.
  • Showing or hiding the table of contents by using toggle option.

You can expand a specific question you want to see the answer. This prevents the answers from opening all at once.

You can make it collapsed as default or not depending on your preference. Users can collapse or expand them as they want. It is simple to use.
