A WordPress Block is one of the sections that make up the content in the Post and Page Builder. Blocks can be chosen from within the Post and Page Builder’s interface, or you can use BoldGrid’s Block Library to create blocks that can be reused across pages and posts.
Note: The Post and Page Builder must be installed/activated to use the Block Library.
How to Access the Block Library
To access the Block Library:
- In the Dashboard, navigate to Post and Page Builder → Block Library
How to Add a New Block to the Library
- In the Dashboard, navigate to Post and Page Builder → Add New Block
- Add a title for your new block
- Add your content
- Be sure to Save Your Block to ensure it can be accessed from the library
How to Use a Block From the Library
- In the Dashboard, navigate to Pages → Add New
- Select Block Library from the Type dropdown
- Find your saved block in the list
- Drag the block into the page content or click Add to Page
Note: You can also use saved blocks in your post content.
Using the Block Library in BoldGrid can be a huge time saver! We have some great information on using the Post and Page Builder to create your Blocks and HTML Markup from scratch.

Using Post and Page Builder.
I created a Page with several BUTTONS on it and plan to reuse them on several pages on my website. This part is no problem.
Additionally, what I want to do is to make this BUTTONS page a template, so that if/when I need to make changes to the buttons, I can do this on the BUTTONS page in Post and Page Builder where once updated and published it will migrate the changes to all the other pages which use these buttons.
I am not having success with finding the menus or features to make the BUTTONS page a template for reusability purposes.
Can you please direct me to make this happen?

Hi Jim,
To create a reusable button template in BoldGrid Post and Page Builder, so updates to a single page automatically reflect across all pages where the buttons appear, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Create a Reusable Block
Edit the Page with Buttons: Start by editing the “BUTTONS” page that contains the buttons you wish to reuse.
Save as Block: Select all the buttons you want to reuse, then click the Save to Library option (found in the block options toolbar). This will save your buttons as a reusable block you can access across your site.
Step 2: Insert the Reusable Block on Other Pages
Edit Target Pages: Open any page where you want the buttons to appear.
Add the Saved Block: Use the BoldGrid Block Library to locate and insert the reusable button block from My Library.
Step 3: Update and Manage the Reusable Block
Edit the Buttons in the Library: To make changes to your buttons in one place, go to My Library within the BoldGrid Block Library. Any updates you make to the buttons here will automatically reflect on every page where the reusable block is placed.
Publish Updates: After editing, save and publish the changes to apply them across all pages where the block is used.
I really hope this helps Jim! If you need more assistance please start a new forum topic and we’ll continue this conversation there!
