About Snap Blocks

From the official readme · v1.2.0

Description

Snap Blocks is a lightweight plugin that lets you create reusable content blocks in WordPress.

Each block is its own post and can be edited with the free version of Elementor, or now also with WPBakery Page Builder. You can group them, duplicate them, and insert them anywhere using a shortcode or a built-in widget.

If you’re familiar with reusable blocks in the Gutenberg editor, this works in a similar way — but built for popular page builders.

🛠️ Built for developers, designers, and content editors who want a smarter way to manage repeatable content across their WordPress sites.
