Pro Documentation — v3.0.1

AxcelersBlocks Pro

33 Pro blocks, Custom CSS and Interactions, AI tools and Figma import — on top of the free AxcelersBlocks plugin.

WordPress 6.9+ PHP 7.4+ Version 3.0.1 1-year license · GPL v2 Needs AxcelersBlocks 3.0+
Getting Started

Install AxcelersBlocks Pro

Pro is an add-on: keep the free AxcelersBlocks plugin active, install Pro, then activate your license.

Step 1 — Install the free plugin

  1. Open your WordPress admin

    Log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Plugins → Add New Plugin.

  2. Search for AxcelersBlocks

    Type AxcelersBlocks in the search box. The plugin will appear in the results.

  3. Install & Activate

    Click Install Now, then click Activate. Pro needs AxcelersBlocks 3.0.0 or newer.

Step 2 — Install AxcelersBlocks Pro

  1. Download Pro from your account

    Log in at axcelersblocks.com and open My Account → Licenses. Click Download to get the latest Pro zip.

  2. Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin

    In your WordPress admin, navigate to Plugins → Add New Plugin and click Upload Plugin.

  3. Choose the ZIP file and install

    Select the downloaded ZIP file, click Install Now, then click Activate.

Step 3 — Activate your license

  1. Copy your license key

    Your key (AXB-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) is in My Account → Licenses — click Copy next to it. Keys are never sent by email.

  2. Open AxcelersBlocks → License

    In your WordPress admin, go to AxcelersBlocks → License and paste the key.

  3. Click Activate

    The site now uses one slot of your license, and Pro updates arrive in Dashboard → Updates like any other plugin.

System Requirements

  • WordPress 6.9 or higher — the block editor and the Abilities API (added in WordPress 6.9) are required.

  • PHP 7.4 or higher — PHP 8.1 or newer is recommended for best performance.

  • AxcelersBlocks 3.0.0 or newer — Pro adds to the free plugin and does not work without it.

  • A Pro license — one live site per license, for one year. Local and staging sites don’t use a slot.

Your License

Manage your license

Everything about your license is in My Account on axcelersblocks.com.

Sites and activations

  1. See your sites

    My Account → Licenses lists every site where the key is active, and how many slots you have used.

  2. Free a slot

    Click Deactivate next to a site — or use AxcelersBlocks → License on that site — to free its slot for another site.

  3. Local and staging sites

    Sites on localhost, .local, .test or .localhost addresses, staging., stage. or dev. subdomains and raw IP addresses don’t use a slot (up to 3 per license).

  4. Moving a site

    Deactivate the old address first, then activate the key on the new one. Activating the same site again never uses a second slot.

  5. When every slot is used

    Activation stops with a message. Free a slot in My Account → Licenses, then click Activate again.

Renewals

  1. Automatic renewal

    By default the license renews on its expiry date with the card or PayPal account you paid with. If a payment fails, we try again 1, 3 and 7 days later.

  2. Manual renewal

    Switch to Manual in My Account → Licenses. We email you 30 and 15 days before the expiry date; if you haven’t renewed by then, the saved payment method is tried once.

  3. Renew early

    Renew now is always available. An early renewal adds a full year to your current expiry date, so you never lose the time you have left, and your key stays the same.

Cancelling and expiry

  1. Cancel any time

    Cancel in My Account → Licenses. You won’t be charged again and the license keeps working until its expiry date. You can undo the cancellation before then.

  2. When a license expires

    Nothing on your site changes: every Pro block, pattern and setting keeps working. Updates, Pro downloads and support pause until you renew.

  3. Renew after expiry

    Renew from My Account at any time. The new year starts on the day you pay, and your key stays the same.

One license per account

Each email address holds one Pro license. Buying again with the same email is blocked — renew the license you have from My Account instead.

Your account

Your account is created when you buy Pro. We email you a link to set your password; after that, log in at axcelersblocks.com/login.

Your license key and the Pro download are only in My Account — never in an email — for security.

Orders and receipts, your billing address and your saved payment method are in My Account too.

Forgot your password? Use “Forgot your password?” on the login page and we email you a new link.

Block Reference

The 33 Pro Blocks

Pro blocks appear in the inserter next to the free AXB blocks. Search for AXB to find them.

6 blocks Archives

Pro patterns. Pro sections — such as five FAQ layouts built with Accordion and Tabs — appear in the AXB pattern categories with a PRO badge while Pro is active.

Custom Code

Custom CSS & Interactions

Add your own CSS and behaviour to any AXB block, right in the editor. For Interactions, select a block, open Interactions, choose a trigger — Click, Hover, Focus, Enters view, Leaves view, Content loaded or Scroll-linked — and add one or more actions from the table below.

Custom CSS: select a block and open Custom CSS in its settings. Use & for the block’s own selector (for example & .title { color: red; }). The editor checks the CSS as you type, can format it, and Copy selector gives you the block’s class.

Describe a section, or give a screenshot, and get AXB blocks back — including Accordion, Tabs, Query Loop and Navigation for FAQs, tabs, post grids and menus.

🎨

Figma import

Paste a Figma frame link. The matching mobile and tablet frames are found too and merged into one set of responsive blocks.

Setup and permissions

Before you use the AI and Figma tools:

AI provider — install a WordPress AI provider plugin (such as OpenAI or Anthropic) and add its API key in Settings → Connectors.

Who can use AI — choose the roles in AxcelersBlocks › Settings › AI.

Connect Figma — an administrator connects the site’s Figma account in AxcelersBlocks › Settings › Figma.

Import frames — once Figma is connected, anyone who can edit posts and upload files can import.

Images — AI image features check that you can upload files and read the image before it is sent.

WP-CLI — wp axcelersblocks-pro ai and wp axcelersblocks-pro figma.

AI agents (MCP) — abilities to edit queries, dynamic bindings, Custom CSS and Interactions.

Revisions — every change an agent makes saves a revision you can roll back.
