Archives
Use the Archives block to display a date archive of your posts.
Calendar
The Calendar Widget block displays your posts in a calendar format. When you publish a new post, it is automatically added to the Calendar block. If you click on a date, it will open the archive of posts published on that date.
Categories List
Use the Categories block to display the posts’ categories. This block is primarily nested inside a query loop block and helps to customize the appearance of the query loop.
Custom HTML
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), is language used to describe the semantic content of web pages. This can be added using the custom HTML block. This block allows you to insert your code so you can fine-tune your content.
Latest Comments
The Latest Comments block displays the most recent comments readers have left on your blog, including the users and blog posts. This block is useful to show the recent activities and ongoing discussion on your blog.
Latest Posts
The latest posts block displays your most recent posts, making it easy for your readers to see what’s new on your blog.
Page List
The Page List block allows you to display your website’s published pages in a page, post, and sidebar.
RSS
An RSS feed is a machine-readable version of the content of a blog or a website.
With the RSS block, you can display content from any site’s RSS feed on your website. You can choose to display the Title, Author, Date, and Excerpt for each item in the feed. You can display the items in a list or as a grid in a set number of columns.
Search
Use the Search block to place a search widget on your page or post.
Shortcode
A shortcode is a WordPress-specific code that lets you do nifty things with very little effort. Shortcodes can embed files or create objects that would normally require lots of complicated, ugly code in just one line. Shortcode = shortcut.
Social Icons
The Social Icons block allows you to add icons linking to your social media profiles or sites. This helps to increase the visibility of your social media profiles and drive traffic to them.
Tag Cloud
The Tag Cloud block allows adding tag/category cloud into the page/post. A tag cloud is a list of all tags /categories on your site, displayed in alphabetical order.
Tag cloud helps your readers to discover and search content easily and quickly.
