FAQ
Do I need coding knowledge to use this plugin?
Yes, basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and optionally JavaScript/PHP is recommended. This plugin is designed for developers and power users who want complete control over their blocks.

Unlike bloated page builders, Modular Blocks Core gives you full control with zero overhead. No vendor lock-in, no excessive CSS/JS, just clean, efficient code that you write.
Can I use PHP in my blocks?
Absolutely! The plugin fully supports PHP, allowing you to create dynamic blocks with database queries, conditional logic, and WordPress functions.
Are blocks stored in the database?
Block definitions are stored as Custom Post Types. When published, they’re compiled into optimized PHP files stored in your wp-uploads directory for maximum performance.
Yes! Use the built-in Import/Export functionality to transfer blocks between WordPress installations.
What happens if I deactivate the plugin?
Your blocks will stop rendering on the frontend. It’s recommended to export your blocks before deactivation if you plan to use them later.

Can I create inherited blocks?
