## Registered blocks Product: Verba - Modern Blog & Magazine WordPress Theme URL: https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/verba/elementor-and-the-block-editor/block-editor Updated: 2026-09-22 Summary: The blocks Verba adds to the editor, how they are registered natively with no builder layer, and why they share their settings with the Elementor widgets. Availability: Pro only. Block editor compatibility is free and works in any version of the theme. It is WordPress core, and a theme is expected to work with it. What is paid here is the theme blocks. Custom blocks are not allowed in a theme on WordPress.org, so they live in the Pro plugin. The badge on this page is about the blocks, not about the editor. ## How these blocks are built Registered natively, with WordPress and the studio toolkit. No third-party block builder, no extension plugins, no layer on top of the editor. The consequence is the part that matters: a block behaves like an ordinary WordPress block. It works in the editor, in templates, in patterns, and in synced blocks, it survives a core update, and it drags no dependency behind it. Patterns are assembled from them, and a pattern is reused like any other. See Building a post from a block pattern and Archives from a block pattern. The studio demo sites are built on these blocks. That is a check rather than a claim: the set has been through real pages, not one screenshot. ## The same schema as Elementor Important for trust: a block and an Elementor widget are not two different products. The complex elements are declared once and handed to both editors, so their settings are identical. Take the post listing. What you configure in the block is configured the same way in the widget, in Theme Options, and in the fields of an object, because there is one schema behind all of them. See Post listings and Listing settings. The practical conclusion: moving between the block editor and Elementor loses no capability. See Elementor widgets. ## The blocks Name plus one line. The settings are visible in the inspector, and a copy of them here would go stale before the block does. **Listings and selections** :::deflist Post Listing : The unified list of posts: grid, slider, carousel, or ticker. Taxonomy Listing : Categories and tags as cards, labels, a slider, or a ticker. Catalogue Listing : A catalog of categories. Resources Listing and Resource : A collection of materials, and one item in it. Singular Post : One chosen post as a card. ::: **Media and interaction** :::deflist Video Box : Self-hosted, YouTube, or Vimeo, inline or in a modal. Before / After : Two images under one handle. Image Hotspots and Hotspot : An image with markers and tooltips. ::: **Content and accents** :::deflist Quote : A pull quote with an author and a photo. Label : A pill for a category, a status, or a tag. Marketing Bar and Marketing Message : The announcement strip and one message inside it. Ad Banner : A banner from the media library or your own code. ::: **Utility** :::deflist Auth : A sign-in and registration form. Elementor Template : Inserts an Elementor template anywhere a block can go. ::: That last one deserves a sentence: it exists precisely so you do not have to move a whole page into Elementor for the sake of one fragment of it. Alongside these there is a set of smaller building blocks used to assemble headers, footers, and patterns: logo, social links, copyright, button, icon, section title, avatar stack, quick links, and a few more. They appear in the inserter in the theme category. ## What is not on this page The settings of each block, which have their own pages where the element is complex enough to need one. How to use the block editor itself. That is WordPress documentation, and a retelling here would age with the core.
