Full-featured, and free forever.** Asteris Blocks gives you a polished, alphabetised block library covering everything you need to build landing pages, blog posts, and product pages. Every block is complete— nothing is locked behind a paywall, and the plugin never nags you to upgrade. #### What you get * **50 blocks** — Hero, Pricing Table, FAQ Accordion (with schema), Recipe Card( with rich results), Comparison Table, Countdown, Cookie Notice, Code Block with syntax highlighter, Image Hotspots, Map (OpenStreetMap), QR Code, Before/After Slider, Table of Contents, and 37 more. * **12 pre-built patterns** — Hero + Stats, Pricing 3-tier, Full landing page, and more — one-click insert. * **60 block style variations** — Hero (minimal / split / gradient), Feature Grid( cards / icons-only / bordered / numbered), Pricing (classic / minimal / bordered/ highlighted), and dozens more. * **Newsletter integrations** — Mailchimp, MailerLite, ConvertKit, Brevo. API keys encrypted at rest (AES-256-CBC). See “External services” below. * **Schema.org markup** — FAQ + Recipe + AggregateRating JSON-LD validates on Google Rich Results Test. * **HTML anchor IDs** on every block — link anywhere, jump anywhere. * **Native typography + colour controls** on every text-bearing block. * **100/100 Lighthouse accessibility** on Kadence, GeneratePress, Twenty Twenty- Five. #### What you do NOT get * No email-gated features — every one of the 50 blocks is fully functional, free. * No nag screens, no pop-ups, no “your trial expires” timers in your editor. * No tracking. No cookies. No analytics. The only outbound connections are the optional third-party services listed under “External services” below, and they run only when you add the relevant block to a page or configure a newsletter provider. Asteris Blocks is full-featured and free forever — funded by our other products, not by upselling you. If you ever want premium section patterns and pro-level design controls, thereÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s an optional **Asteris Blocks Pro** — but the free plugin is complete on its own and never pushes you toward it. ### Why Asteris Blocks? Built lean on purpose. HereÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s what you actually get: 1. **Tiny footprint** — about 215 KB zipped, and it loads zero front-end CSS or JavaScript on pages that donÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t use an Asteris block. 2. **Only loads where itÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s used** — the shared stylesheet and script enqueue only on pages where one of your Asteris blocks actually renders. No site- wide weight. 3. **No JavaScript framework** — blocks render in PHP with tiny vanilla-JS view scripts; no React or jQuery dependency dragged onto your front end. 4. **50 blocks, 12 patterns, 60 style variations — all free** — nothing gated, no“ premium” lock icons cluttering the inserter. 5. **Schema built in** — FAQ, Recipe and AggregateRating JSON-LD that validates on GoogleÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s Rich Results Test, no separate SEO plugin required. 6. **No phone-home** — no tracking, no cookies, no analytics on you. The only outbound calls are blocks you choose to add (Map, Video, embeds) — each documented below. 7. **Accessibility-minded** — 100/100 Lighthouse accessibility on Kadence, GeneratePress and Twenty Twenty-Five. 8. **GPL-2.0** — audit it, fork it, keep it forever. 9. **No nag screens** — Pro is mentioned once, never a pop-up or a disabled button. ### Asteris Blocks Pro Asteris Blocks is full-featured and free forever. If you want to go further, the optional **Asteris Blocks Pro** adds: * **73 premium section patterns** — niche page templates (photographer, music artist, conference, salon, fitness), video + audio sections, premium e-commerce layouts. * **The control layer** — fine-tune any blockÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s spacing, responsive visibility, hover states, animations and custom CSS, no code required. * **AI Section Generator** — describe a section and get a ready-to-edit block layout. * **Cloud pattern library** — one-click insert from a growing hosted collection. Same lightweight, no-bloat build. See everything included at [asterisblocks.com/blocks-pro](https://asterisblocks.com/blocks-pro). ### External services This plugin can connect to the following third-party services. None of them are contacted unless you add the block that uses them to a page, or configure a newsletter provider. No data is sent to us. **Newsletter providers (optional).** When you configure a provider and a visitor submits the Newsletter block, the visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s email address (and name, if entered) is sent from your server to that providerÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s API to create or subscribe the contact. You choose the provider and supply the API key. * Mailchimp — terms: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/ — privacy: https://www. intuit.com/privacy/statement/ * MailerLite — terms: https://www.mailerlite.com/terms-of-service — privacy: https:// www.mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy * ConvertKit (Kit) — terms: https://kit.com/terms — privacy: https://kit.com/privacy * Brevo — terms: https://www.brevo.com/legal/termsofuse/ — privacy: https://www. brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy/ **OpenStreetMap (Map block).** Adding the Map block embeds a map from openstreetmap. org. When a visitor loads the page, their browser requests map tiles from OpenStreetMap. Terms: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use — privacy: https://wiki. osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy **YouTube / Vimeo (Video block).** Adding a video embeds a player from youtube-nocookie. com or player.vimeo.com when a visitor plays it. YouTube terms: https://www.youtube. com/t/terms — Google privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy — Vimeo terms: https://vimeo.com/terms — Vimeo privacy: https://vimeo.com/privacy **Spotify / SoundCloud (Embed block).** Adding the Embed block with a Spotify or SoundCloud URL embeds that providerÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s player. When a visitor loads the page, their browser requests the player and the track/episode you embedded from open.spotify.com or w.soundcloud.com. Only the public URL you paste into the block is sent.

Open any page or post Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: — type “asteris” in the inserter to see all 50 blocks alphabetically. 4. (Optional) Settings -> Asteris Blocks to configure a newsletter provider. ## FAQ ### Is this really free forever? Yes. All 50 blocks are free, with no email-gated upgrades and no “unlock more blocks” overlays — every block here works fully, forever. We fund it from our other paid products. ThereÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s an optional Asteris Blocks Pro for premium section patterns and advanced design controls, but itÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s entirely separate and the free plugin never nags you about it. ### What happens at v2.0? Will you start charging? No. Asteris Blocks stays free regardless of how many users sign up. ### Does it work with my theme? Tested on Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress, Twenty Twenty-Five, and Storefront. Should work on any WP 6.4+ theme. ### Will it conflict with my page builder? It is built for the native WordPress block editor (Gutenberg). It will not show inside Elementor / Divi / Beaver Builder. ### Where do I report bugs? Email support@asteriscommerce.com. ## Àwọn àgbéyẹ̀wò ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a8fadf98d183bd5fb216b5ca07b5722d365e1a2412e5daa0f829c6fd11664783? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Many blocks, but limited customization](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/many-blocks-but-limited-customization/)󠁿 [dansart](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dansart/) Agẹmọ 1, 2026 1 ìdáhùn I liked the large amount of blocks, although they seem to be a little bit unfinished at times and they cannot be customized a lot. Also missing are some comfort features, like having a color picker.Some things like how the cookie notice banner actually works, are a little bit unclear.

(0.4.0 attempted this but only toggled a legacy flag that modern WordPress ignores.) * Everything from 0.4.0 below. #### 0.4.0 * Colour + border controls on every block, and real colour-swatch pickers replacing the old type-a-hex fields. * Full custom colour picker (the “rainbow” spectrum) + custom gradients are now available on every blockÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s colour controls — even on themes that disable custom colours in the editor. * New: site-wide cookie bar. Turn it on once in Settings Asteris Blocks and the consent bar shows on every page and disappears for good once the visitor accepts or declines — no need to place the block in a footer template. * Cookie Notice now broadcasts the visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s choice (WP Consent API, dataLayer, and a JS event) so your tag manager or consent plugin can gate scripts — and the editor explains what it does. * Rich text (bold/italic/links) in FAQ, Accordion and Tabs; Recipe ingredients & instructions are now add/remove lists. * Recipe Card editor now shows the full card as you build it — image (or placeholder), name, description, times, and the live ingredients + instructions lists — matching exactly what visitors see. * Neutral starter content (no sample marketing copy), clearer descriptions, and polish fixes (non-Latin read-time, recipe times, newsletter consent, accessible social labels, animated stats). #### 0.3.15 * New: one-click Starter Content importer (Settings Asteris Blocks). Builds Home, About, Services, Pricing and Contact pages from the active themeÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá:’ s full-page patterns and sets Home as the front page. User-initiated, idempotent( never overwrites your edits), and makes no remote calls. Designed to pair with the free Asteris theme. #### 0.3.14 * Listing: added a “Why Asteris Blocks?” section (tiny footprint, assets load only where a block renders, no phone-home) plus a clear “Asteris Blocks Pro” overview of what the optional paid add-on includes. Aligned the internal version constant with the plugin header. No change to any blockÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s behaviour or output. #### 0.3.9 * WordPress.org review fixes. (1) JSON-LD output in the FAQ, Recipe and Star Rating blocks now uses JSON_HEX_TAG so any “” sequence in user content is escaped — closing a script-context breakout risk. (2) The five landing-page patterns (agency, course, podcast, restaurant, SaaS) no longer reference remote placeholder images; they use the pluginÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s bundled local placeholder instead — no external image calls. (3) The “External services” section now also documents the Embed blockÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s optional Spotify and SoundCloud players (what is sent, when, with terms + privacy links). No functional change for existing pages. #### 0.3.8 * Performance + Plugin Check: the shared front-end stylesheet and script are no longer loaded on every page. They are now registered as handles and referenced per block (block.json “style”/”viewScript”), so WordPress loads them only on pages where an Asteris block is actually present. Clears the last two Plugin Check warnings (EnqueuedStylesScope / EnqueuedScriptsScope) — report is now 0 errors / 0 warnings — and speeds up every page that doesnÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t use a block. #### 0.3.7 * Plugin Check: each blockÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s server render template now runs inside a scoped closure, so its working variables are truly function-local instead of file-scope. This clears all remaining PrefixAllGlobals warnings (report is now 0 errors / 0 warnings) and hardens the templates against accidental global-scope pollution if a file is ever included directly. No functional or output change. #### 0.3.6 * Tidy: removed the Docs / Support / GitHub meta links from the Plugins-screen row. No functional change. #### 0.3.5 * Plugin Check: cleared the remaining actionable warnings. Newsletter rate-limiter now unslashes + sanitises the client IP at the source ($_SERVER reads), the two read-only admin-screen GET flags carry justified nonce-exemption notes, and the redundant load_plugin_textdomain() call was removed (WordPress 4.6+ auto-loads translations for .org-hosted plugins). No functional change. #### 0.3.4 * Plugin Check: cleared all reported errors. Block render output is now explicitly escaped (wp_kses_post around wpautop, tag_escape on dynamic tag names, esc_html/ integer casts on counters and star strings, esc_url on the newsletter form action, sniff-named ignores on trusted inline SVG and inner-block HTML), and every placeholder string now carries a “translators:” comment (coupon, hotspots, QR, social share, star rating, team). No functional change. #### 0.3.3 * Privacy: the QR Code block is now generated entirely in your visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá:’ s browser (bundled MIT qrcode-generator library) — it no longer calls the api. qrserver.com third-party service, so the QR data never leaves your site. * Compliance: added an “External services” section documenting every remaining optional third-party connection — newsletter providers (Mailchimp, MailerLite, ConvertKit, Brevo), OpenStreetMap (Map block) and YouTube/Vimeo (Video block)— including what data is sent and links to each serviceÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s terms and privacy policy. Corrected the privacy summary accordingly: these run only when you add the relevant block or configure a provider. * Packaging: the patterns directory is now included in the distributed build, so all block patterns register correctly. * i18n: pattern titles/categories are registered with literal strings (no translate- with-variable), for a clean Plugin Check pass. * Docs: Brevo is now listed in the feature description (four newsletter providers). * Housekeeping: stable tag, plugin header version and changelog aligned; build excludes dev-only files. #### 0.2.4 * Fix: PHP 8.1 deprecation notice (“strip_tags(): Passing null”) that appeared on activation when the welcome page rendered. Hidden welcome page now registers under a real parent (options-general.php) then hides itself from the submenu, instead of using the deprecated empty-string parent slug. #### 0.2.3 * Security: Social Share block now sanitises $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] before passing to home_url() (wp_unslash + sanitize_text_field). Defence-in-depth — downstream output was already escaped, but sanitises at the source per WordPress.org review guidelines. * Compat: Tested up to WordPress 7.0. * Docs: Screenshots section expanded to cover all 10 .org submission images. #### 0.2.2 * New: Brevo (Sendinblue) — 4th newsletter provider. * New: 5 industry landing-page patterns — SaaS, Agency, Course, Podcast, Restaurant. * Phase 4 audit: early-return guards added to Coupon, Pullquote, Author Box, Team Grid for empty-state safety. * Test: Unicode, RTL, emoji, 10K+ character strings, 500-item arrays — all render cleanly. #### 0.2.1 * New: Plugin row Settings / Docs / Support / GitHub links. * New: Post-install welcome screen. * New: Test Connection buttons on Settings page. * New: Privacy policy declaration (we collect zero data). * New: Editor preview CSS for block style variations. * New: Pattern viewport widths for cleaner inserter previews. * Security: wp_unslash on all newsletter inputs. * Fix: Newsletter REST email param now sanitised after unslash. * Asset: LICENSE file (GPL-2.0+) added. * Asset: plugin icon (128/256), banner (772/1544), OG image generated. * Asset: uninstall.php cleans plugin options + transients. * i18n: load_plugin_textdomain wired; .pot template included. #### 0.2.0 * New: 60 block style variations across 14 blocks. * New: 12 pre-built block patterns in 7 categories. * New: Newsletter integration adapters Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: — Mailchimp, MailerLite, ConvertKit. * New: AES-256-CBC encryption for API keys at rest. * New: Honeypot + per-IP rate limiting on newsletter REST endpoint. * New: CTA Banner background image + overlay opacity. * Refactor: Code Block copy-to-clipboard reads from < pre> instead of data-copy attribute. #### 0.1.0 * Initial release Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: — 50 blocks, alphabetised inserter, schema.org markup. ## Àkójọpọ̀ Meta * Ẹ̀yà **1.0.0** * Ìgbàgbọ́hùn tó kẹ́yìn **ọ̀sẹ̀ 2 sẹ́yìn** * Àwọn ìgbéwọlẹ̀ tó ṣiṣẹ́ **200+** * Ẹ̀yà WordPress ** 6.4 tàbí ju bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ ** * Dánwò dé **7.0.2** * Ẹ̀yà PHP ** 8.1 tàbí ju bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ ** * Èdè * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/asteris-blocks/) * Àwọn àmì * [blocks](https://yor.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/blocks/)[faq schema](https://yor.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/faq-schema/) [gutenberg](https://yor.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/gutenberg/)[page builder](https://yor.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/page-builder/) * [Ìwòye Tó Péye](https://yor.wordpress.org/plugins/asteris-blocks/advanced/) ## Àwọn ìbò 4 lára àwọn ìràwọ̀ 5. * [ 0 5-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/asteris-blocks/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 1 4-star review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/asteris-blocks/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/asteris-blocks/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/asteris-blocks/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/asteris-blocks/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/asteris-blocks/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/asteris-blocks/reviews/) ## Àwọn Olùkópa * [ Asteris Commerce ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/asteriscommerce/) ## Ìrànlọ́wọ́ Nǹkan wà tí o fẹ́ sọ?
