About AI website builder for the block editor…

From the official readme · v4.4.1

Description

Advanced Addons extends the WordPress Block Editor and Elementor with animation controls, custom CSS, and an optional AI-assisted layout builder.

Key features include:

  • AI Builder for generating and editing layouts (WordPress 7.0+)
  • Tailwind block for WordPress block editor
  • Add custom CSS to blocks and Elementor widgets
  • Advanced animation controls for blocks and elementor

Animation and custom CSS work on WordPress 6.5 and later. AI features only load when the site runs WordPress 7.0 or newer.

WordPress version requirements

  • WordPress 6.5+ — animation controls and custom CSS (core plugin features)
  • WordPress 7.0+ — required to use AI Builder features (WordPress AI Client / Connectors, AI chat in the editors, Unsplash search via AI tools, Tailwind HTML AI block workflow)

If your site is on WordPress 6.5–6.9, the plugin still works for animation and custom CSS; AI Builder UI and APIs stay disabled until you upgrade to WordPress 7.0+.

Pro version

The Pro version is available on the Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/WordPressAddons

Third-party services

This plugin can optionally connect to external services. No calls are made until you configure credentials and use the related AI features (WordPress 7.0+).

  • WordPress AI providers — configured via WordPress Connectors / AI Client. Your prompts and page context may be sent to the provider you select. Review each provider’s privacy policy and terms before use.
  • Unsplash API — optional stock photo search. Requires an Unsplash access key from https://unsplash.com/oauth/applications. Searches are sent to api.unsplash.com. See Unsplash API Guidelines and Terms: https://unsplash.com/api/terms

API keys are stored in WordPress options (or via constants/environment variables) and are never sent to Advanced Addons servers.

Features

AI Builder (WordPress 7.0+)

Generate and edit page sections with AI in the block editor and Elementor when WordPress AI Client / connectors are available.

  • Transform animations (translate, rotate, scale)
  • Scroll-based effects
  • Custom animation properties

Custom CSS

Extend styling without editing theme files:

  • Add custom CSS directly in the block editor
  • Add custom CSS to Elementor widgets without Elementor Property

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Free and Pro versions?

The Free version lets you access AI features only through an API key configured in the WordPress Connector settings. The Pro version also lets you use your existing subscription through WebMCP, Codex Chat, or an external MCP server.

Why is this plugin needed for HTML to Elementor workflows?

This plugin provides custom CSS similar to Elementor Pro. It is only needed if you use Elementor Free without Elementor Pro.

Why is this plugin needed for HTML to WordPress workflows?

This plugin provides custom CSS for the block editor used by those workflows.

Do I need WordPress 7.0?

No. Animation and custom CSS require WordPress 6.5+. To use AI Builder features you need WordPress 7.0 or later.
