About this tool.
ChunkBlocks lets developers create reusable block templates with custom fields, then hands content editors a simple interface to fill them in — no page builder bloat, no shortcode guessing.
Define a block once: write an HTML template with placeholders, add fields through the visual field builder (text, image, repeater, table, and more), and your editors can drop that block onto any page with their own content.
Includes:
- Unlimited block templates, table schemas, and page blocks
- Full field builder with text, media, choice, and advanced field types (including repeater and table)
- JSON export and import of block templates and table schemas
- Metabox on pages and posts
- Shortcode and automatic output modes
- Multilingual content support
- Optional frontend attribution (off by default)
- Template placeholder engine

- 02Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- 03Go to ChunkBlocks → Block Builder to create your first block template
- 04Define your fields, write your HTML template, then add the block to any page via the metabox
Frequently asked questions.
How is this different from Advanced Custom Fields?
ACF attaches fields to a single post type. ChunkBlocks creates standalone reusable block templates that editors can add multiple times per page, each with its own content — closer to a lightweight block builder than a meta-fields plugin.
Do I need to know HTML to use this?
To create a block template, yes — you write a small HTML snippet with placeholders like {{title}} and {{image}}. To use an existing block on a page, no — editors just fill in a form.
