The Beta is live, and the public buy page is open.
If you’ve been building pages in Gutenberg and hitting walls, this is the version where you stop fighting the editor and start reconciling with it. Real HTML, real CSS, real data bindings, all native blocks. No page builder layered on top.
What’s in the box today:
- The universal block. One block, every HTML element. Section, Container, Heading, SVG, Anchor and the rest are variations of the same primitive.
- Global CSS. Classes, ids, custom selectors, at-rules, variables. Tokenized, stored centrally, edited from the inspector or the docked code panel, both sides in sync.
- Dynamic data. Twig syntax and Timber providers. Posts, terms, users, custom queries, loops, conditions, filters, pagination.
- AI assistant. Speaks the same standards as the engine. Bring your own key in WordPress 7.0 (Connectors), no proprietary schema in between.
The Beta tag is about interface coverage, not stability. The core is settled. No breaking changes are planned between now and 1.0 stable. The styling side already has a full visual layer in two-way sync with the code. The data side still asks for Twig written directly today. The matching UI is the next layer to fill in, step by step, through the Beta cycle.
Until then, the AI assistant fills in. Anything the visual layer doesn’t expose yet, you can describe in plain language and the assistant writes it for you. A loop, a query, a conditional pattern, a binding. You don’t wait for the controls to land to ship pages today, whatever your comfort with code.
A few places to start:
- Try the demo. No install, no signup.
- Read the docs. Guides, reference, recipes.
- See the roadmap. What’s coming and in which order.
- Request a feature. Suggest what should ship next.
The Lifetime Deal is open. One payment, lifetime updates, 1,000 sites. 30% off until June 10, then 15% off until July 15.
A note on where Unblock stands today. The visual layer covers styling end to end. The data layer doesn’t, yet. That gap closes during the Beta, which is exactly what the Beta is for. Buy in now, the price reflects the work still to come. Shape the controls with the people who’ll use them. That’s the deal.
