Importing Blocks

Import a block definition JSON file on any WordPress site running BF Blocks. Existing blocks with the same slug can be selectively overwritten or kept.

UI Import

1. Navigate to BF Blocks → Import.
2. Click Choose File and select your JSON file.
3. Review the list of blocks in the file.
4. Choose which blocks to import (or select all).
5. Click Import Blocks. Imported blocks appear in your BF Blocks library immediately.

Conflict Resolution

If a block in the import file has the same slug as an existing block, BF Blocks will prompt you to:

• Overwrite — replaces the existing block definition with the imported one.
• Keep existing — skips that block and keeps what's already on the site.
• Import as new — imports the block with a new slug (e.g. appends -2).

CLI Import

# Import a single block
wp bf-blocks import ./blocks/testimonial.json

# Import all blocks in a directory
wp bf-blocks import ./blocks/

# Import and overwrite existing blocks without prompting
wp bf-blocks import ./blocks/ --force
