BF Blocks 2.0: What's New

BF Blocks 2.0 is the biggest update since launch. After six months of development and feedback from over 1,200 beta users, here's what shipped.

Repeater Fields

The most-requested feature. Repeater fields let you create dynamic lists of structured content — pricing tiers, team members, FAQ items, testimonial carousels — directly in the block builder. Repeaters can be nested up to three levels deep.

Note

Repeater field values are available in PHP templates as a standard PHP array, making them straightforward to loop over with foreach.

Export & Import System

Block definitions can now be exported as portable JSON files and imported on any site running BF Blocks. Full WP-CLI support is included — perfect for CI/CD pipelines and multi-site agency deployments.

Template Library

25 pre-built block templates covering the most common content patterns: heroes, pricing tables, testimonials, features grids, FAQs, CTAs, team sections, and more. Insert any template to get a fully-configured block in seconds.

Redesigned Builder UI

The block builder interface has been rebuilt from scratch. The new design is cleaner, faster, and includes a drag-to-reorder field list, collapsible field groups, a live preview panel, and an improved icon picker.

Upgrading from 1.x

  • All existing blocks are automatically migrated on plugin activation
  • PHP template paths are unchanged — no template updates required
  • block.json format is backwards compatible
  • Licence keys carry over — no re-activation needed
