Getting Started

What is Better Block Editor (BBE)?

BBE is a free plugin that extends the native WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg) with responsive controls, hovers, on-scroll animations, and pre-made website templates — all without replacing core blocks or adding a separate builder. Your existing content remains intact.

Do I need coding skills?

No. All controls live inside the Block Editor UI. You can fine-tune advanced settings, but no code is required.

Does BBE work with my current theme and plugins?

Yes. BBE is designed for excellent compatibility with block themes, third-party plugins, and blocks. It doesn’t replace your existing content.

Is BBE really free?

Yes — free forever, no hidden paywalls. BBE is also 100% GPL-compliant.

Pre-made Site Templates & Partial Import

My site doesn’t look like the template preview — what did I miss?

Pre-made websites ship with the BBE Theme — if you switch to another theme, layouts and styles will differ.

Also, if you use Partial Import without enabling the BBE Design System (prompt on first import or later in Settings > Better Block Editor), the page won’t inherit the correct styles.

Can I import only a section (hero, pricing, FAQs) instead of the whole site?

Yes. Use Partial Import to copy a single page or section into your site.

Will demo imports overwrite my content?

No. Pre-made Site Templates add posts/pages/etc.; they don’t replace existing content. You can also remove what you don’t need.

Colors, Fonts & Global Design

How do I change colors and fonts?

Use One-click Customization: pick primary/secondary/neutral colors and BBE builds a balanced palette across your site. You also get a clear spacing scale and font sizes. Colors and fonts can be fine tuned in Global Styles > Colors/Typography respectively.

Can I use my brand colors and Google Fonts?

Yes. Set brand colors directly using One-click Customization tool (Styles > Colors > Palette Generator). For typography, use your theme’s font options — BBE works with it out of the box.

Will my existing styles break if I install BBE?

No. BBE extends the Block Editor; your current styles remain. You can activate/deactivate BBE at any time — content stays intact.

Responsiveness & Mobile Issues

How do I fix layouts that break on mobile?

Install and activate the Better Block Editor (BBE) plugin — it adds responsive controls to Row, Stack, Grid, Post Template, Heading, Paragraph, and other supported blocks.

Can I choose custom breakpoints?

Yes. Use preset or custom breakpoints for granular control. Edit preset breakpoints in Settings > Better Block Editor.

My navigation collapses too early/too late — can I change that?

Yes. Make sure you have installed and activated the Better Block Editor (BBE) plugin.

Use “Overlay Menu: Responsive” to set the exact collapse breakpoint.

You can also add hover colors for menu and submenu items.

Buttons wrap oddly on mobile — help!

Install and activate the Better Block Editor (BBE) plugin.

Use Buttons block Responsive Settings to stack or reverse buttons and set their justification at your chosen breakpoint.

Animations & Interaction

How do I add tasteful scroll animations (not over the top)?

Open “Animation on Scroll” panel per block, pick an animation style, then set duration and delay. Everything is designed to be subtle and performance-oriented.

Can I add hover effects to buttons/links?

Yes. You can customize hover colors for text, background, and border on supported blocks (e.g., Buttons, Navigation).

CTAs, Headers & Funnels

How do I add a “Call to Action” button in the WordPress header?

The Block Editor supports adding Buttons to the Navigation block natively. However, this can produce a long menu that breaks on smaller screens. You can fix that with BBE’s enhancements:

Can I make sticky headers or floating CTAs?

If you’re using a block theme — yes. Making the header sticky usually means wrapping the Header template part in a Group block and setting its Position to “Sticky”. However, you’d need to repeat this across all templates.

We suggest using the BBE Theme — it lets you set “Position: Sticky” on the Header’s root Group/Row/Stack once, and it applies across all templates.

For CTA buttons inside the header, use Responsive Visibility to hide them on smaller screens.

Landing Pages & Campaigns

What’s the fastest way to build a campaign landing page?

Pick one of our Pre-made Site Templates, import in one click, swap content, and publish. You can mix sections from different templates (hero, features, pricing, FAQ) via Partial Import.

Do I need a third-party page builder?

No. BBE extends the Block Editor (Gutenberg) so you can build high-converting pages inside native WordPress editor. If you already use other blocks/plugins, they remain compatible.

Performance & Safety

Will BBE slow down my site?

BBE is lightweight and performance-focused. It adds scripts and styles only when used. Animations are CSS/JS-minimal and can be enabled/disabled per block.

Can I safely remove BBE later?

Yes. Your pages still render with core blocks as BBE doesn’t replace them; it enhances them. Uninstalling keeps your content intact.

Themes & the BBE Theme

What is the BBE Theme?

A companion block theme designed to match BBE’s design system — colors, spacing, and typography. It also adds extra styles for Navigation, Buttons, and other blocks. BBE Theme is a fastest path to a polished, fully responsive site.

Do I have to use the companion theme?

No. BBE works with any block theme.

However, BBE Theme shortens the development time significantly.

Licensing, Updates & Support

What’s the license?

BBE is being distributed under the GPL license. You’re free to use it on personal and commercial sites.

How do I get updates?

Install from WordPress.org and receive updates through your dashboard like any other plugin

Where can I get help?

Start with the plugin tips and docs.

If something still looks off, report an issue via the WordPress.org forums. We do not offer full free support — but if you report a bug in BBE, we will fix it ASAP.
