Designer-grade control. Built into the block editor.
Every property you’d reach for in CSS — typography, layout, spacing, effects — exposed as native Gutenberg controls. With per-device overrides and hover states.
Responsive controls
Set values per device — Desktop, Tablet, Mobile — with smart inheritance so your CSS stays lean.
Dynamic content
Pull post title, excerpt, meta, terms, and ACF fields directly into any block. Live previews in the editor.
Link & button states
Style links and buttons across hover, focus, and active states – without custom CSS or JavaScript.
Layout that scales
Flex and Grid built-in: direction, wrap, gaps, align, justify, grow & shrink — plus position, sizing, and z-index.
Effects suite
Box & text shadow, filters (blur, brightness, contrast, hue), and 2D/3D transforms (translate, scale, rotate, skew).
Performance-first CSS
Block-based CSS only loads what you use. No bloat. No render-blocking. Fast Core Web Vitals out of the box.
Always shipping. Here’s what’s new.
A steady cadence of new blocks, polish, and fixes. Every release is shipped openly — no surprises.
v2.1.3
Latest
July 2026
MAINTENANCE
- Prefixed global variables in the uninstall routine to follow WordPress coding standards. No functional change — existing content is unaffected.
v2.1.2
June 2026
MAINTENANCE
- Removed leftover debug console messages from Background layer controls.
- Custom SVG icons in Heading and Bodycopy editor previews are now sanitized.
- Added uninstall routine that removes plugin settings when deleted (including multisite).
- Synced version metadata across plugin files. No block settings or defaults changed.
v2.1.1
June 2026
FIXED
- Fixed the block style controls (the AxcelersBlocks side panel) appearing unstyled in the editor on block themes. The inspector control styles were loaded as a block style asset, which only reaches the editor canvas iframe; they are now loaded with the editor assets so the side panel renders correctly for every block on all themes.
v2.1.0
June 2026
NEW
- Added an AXB: Table pattern category with three new patterns: Pricing Comparison, Product Specs, and Schedule.
- Added an AXB: List pattern category with three new patterns: Feature Checklist, Two-Column Checklist, and Numbered Steps.
IMPROVED
- Updated the existing Hero, CTA, Media with Text, Featured Post, and Testimonials patterns so their layout spacing is written explicitly into the pattern markup, making inserted patterns independent of block default values.
- Block identity badges (Box, Column, Columns, Heading, Bodycopy, Button, Image, Video, List, List Item) now appear only while hovering that specific block, so the canvas stays clean. When blocks are nested, only the innermost hovered block shows its badge.
- Refined the block icons in the inserter with tighter artwork.
v2.0.0
June 2026
NEW
- Added a new AXB Video block: a semantic figure/video element with multiple sources, caption tracks, and a poster image, plus playback options (autoplay, loop, muted, controls, playsinline, preload), self-hosted and dynamic video sources, optional streaming-platform embeds (YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion) with WordPress oEmbed fallback, and the full AxcelersBlocks style controls.
- Added a complete link styling model to the Bodycopy, Heading, and Image blocks, letting you style the link across its default, hover, focus, and active states — typography, text and background color, border, border radius, spacing, display, and effects.
- Added focus and active interaction states to the Button block alongside the existing hover state across all style controls.
- Added dedicated icon-container styling (background, border, border radius, padding, margin, alignment) to the Bodycopy, Heading, and Button blocks.
- Added SVG element styling controls (sizing, positioning, display, and effects) for inline SVG icons.
- Added content styling controls and an Outline control to the relevant blocks.
- Expanded the Image block with flexbox and grid layout controls, dedicated image-element sizing (width, height, min, max, and border radius), and an optional empty-state placeholder.
- Added image priority loading: mark your largest above-the-fold image (the LCP) to load it eagerly with fetchpriority=”high”, plus an explicit loading control (lazy, eager, auto).
- Added link rel attributes (nofollow, sponsored, ugc) and a link title field for links across the relevant blocks.
- Added ARIA label support across blocks for improved accessibility.
- Added Blank and Full-Width page templates that work in both classic and block (FSE) themes, so you can build full-page layouts without theme chrome.
- Added support for ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) values as dynamic content sources.
- Added shared editor and frontend stylesheets for consistent styling across all blocks.
IMPROVED
- Switched the responsive system to mobile-first: device styles now use min-width media queries (base styles apply to mobile and scale up to tablet and desktop) instead of the previous desktop-first max-width approach. Content built with earlier versions keeps its blocks and settings, but because the cascade direction changed, its responsive (tablet/mobile) appearance should be reviewed and adjusted after updating.
- Rebuilt block CSS generation on a shared PHP engine with dedicated per-block render helpers for cleaner, more consistent editor and frontend output, and minified the generated inline CSS.
- Fixed the per-block responsive controls so they stay in sync with WordPress’s native Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile preview buttons in both directions, by reading WordPress’s current stable device-type API. Switching device in either place now updates the other and resizes the editor canvas to your configured breakpoints.
- Redesigned the Table block family: streamlined the table data model and added per-cell column span, row span, scope, and vertical alignment, configurable border spacing, and improved section, row, and cell structure handling.
FIXED
- Fixed responsive positioning so absolutely-positioned elements keep their intended per-breakpoint offsets after the move to the mobile-first system. Previously, a side (top/right/bottom/left) set only on a wider breakpoint could inherit a narrower breakpoint’s value, shifting or stretching positioned elements; each breakpoint’s position is now self-contained.
- Fixed the Columns block child synchronization so adding, removing, or duplicating columns from the block toolbar stays in sync with the column count, with reliable two-way updates that are no longer affected by editor timing issues.
- Your existing blocks update without block recovery — no block shows an “unexpected or invalid content” notice. Because the responsive system moved from desktop-first to mobile-first, the tablet/mobile appearance of content built with earlier versions may differ and should be reviewed and adjusted after updating; your content and settings are not deleted.
- The block-level hover styling previously available on the Bodycopy and Heading blocks has been replaced by the new link styling model; those blocks update safely, but any block-level hover styling set on them will no longer be applied.
