Blox Lite is nearing the end of its life. The plugin was built to solve a problem that will soon no longer exist. The advent of block themes utilizing the Site Editor has superseded Blox Lite. Critical support will still be provided in the support forum, but the plugin is no longer being actively developed.
Blox Lite allows you to easily customize your Genesis-powered website using content blocks. It is not a tool for changing the colors of your theme. While it can wrangle styles, think more along the lines of banner images, dynamic content areas, and custom footers. In other words,
structural customization.
This plugin is only for Genesis Framework users. Genesis is a premium product of
StudioPress, which has no affiliation with Blox Lite.

Content options
Blox Lite includes two content options, Raw Content, and Static Image. With Raw Content you can add anything to your website, whether that be raw HTML, CSS, Javascript, iframes, shortcodes, and even PHP. If you are looking to add images, such as a banner image, the Static Image option is the way to go. Add a photo directly from your media library, choose the size, add a caption, and more. The Static Image option even supports background images. This is great for setting up responsive headers or adding a parallax effect.
Removing content
As a general rule, Blox Lite allows you to
add content. It does not remove existing content. For example, Blox Lite will easily allow you to add a custom footer to your site, but the old one will be there as well. To remove content, you will need to add the necessary PHP code to your theme's functions.php file.
Style your way
Blox Lite does not include any styling aside from a small amount of default CSS for images, which can be turned off in the Settings. It is your site and we do not want to impose styling choices on you. Blox Lite will inherit most of your theme's styling, but you will likely need to add some additional CSS. This customizability is an intended feature of Blox Lite and makes it all that more powerful. Simple questions about styling can be asked in the plugin’s support forum.
- You have a couple options:
- Go to Plugins->Add New and search for "Blox Lite”. Once found, click "Install".
- Download the folder from Wordpress.org and zip the folder. Then upload via Plugins->Add New->Upload.
- 通过 WordPress 的“插件”菜单以激活本插件。
- From the ‘Plugins’ page, head directly to the plugin ‘Settings’ page to configure your global options.
- Once the global settings have been set, navigate to "All Global Blocks" to create a new global block. To create local blocks navigate to a post, page, or custom post type, locate the ‘Local Content Blocks’ metabox and click the "Add Content Block" button.
