Landing page building blocks for the new WordPress editor.
C9 Blocks gives you the tools to work entirely within the Gutenberg block editing API with 10 new content blocks, 30+ section templates, and 15+ landing page templates. The grid block provides a container for repeatable rows of content, which can be split into columns, and are responsive by default.
This plugin is compatible with the Twenty Nineteen and Twenty Twenty themes but can be paired with the C9 starter theme and C9 admin plugin to great effect for developers, agencies, and website content managers.
C9 Blocks includes the following blocks:
- Heading Block
- Social Share Block
- Horizontal Tabs Block
- Vertical Tabs Block
- Posts Grid Block
- Post and Page Grid Block
- Call To Action Block
- Carousel Block
- Image Carousel Block
- Toggles Block
- Grid Block
For an overview of each of the blocks, and more up to date documentation, head over to our documentation and demo site. https://c9.covertnine.com
C9 WordPress Theme
The C9 Theme is a responsive and minimal, CSS Grid-based, Bootstrap 4 theme that utilizes most of Bootstrap's components and works seamlessly with the new custom editor style from WordPress 5. It's based on Understrap, but with an innovative approach to using Gutenberg's editing system and a more minimal minimal theme skin to start with.
If you're working on behalf of a client or customer and want to build your own style guide and/or themes on top of the C9 theme, included is a client boilerplate folder and full child theme support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can C9 Blocks be used with any theme?
The current blocks plugin supports the WordPress Twenty Nineteen, upcoming WordPress Twenty Twenty Beta Theme, as well as the C9 Starter Theme.
We're working to make the plugin work with other themes as well. If you have a page template that supports full-width layouts, then the C9 Blocks plugin should work with most Bootstrap and some non-Bootstrap themes.
Do I need the new block editor to use C9 Blocks?
Yes, you will need to have WordPress 5.0 or later installed to take advantage of C9 Blocks. If you have the latest version of the Gutenberg plugin installed, you can use the BlockPreview support that is built into the saved templates modal. *If you experience any conflicts, please let us know so we can make the necessary updates.
