Jetpack Blocks

The WordPress Block Editor transforms your writing style from a single document to a collection of meaningful elements (blocks) with explicit structure.

Jetpack includes some blocks, which can help you create your pages, posts, and widget areas exactly the way you want them.

What are blocks?

Blocks are the individual sections that make up a page. There are many block types for you to use, each block can be edited or moved independently of other blocks, and blocks can have their own formatting settings.

For more information on blocks, read our guide to the WordPress Block Editor on WordPress.com.

How can I activate Jetpack Blocks?

Jetpack Blocks are active by default; however, you can manage that setting by searching for “Blocks” using the Search function on the Jetpack Settings page:

How can I add Jetpack blocks?

You can add a block using any of the ⊕ buttons, as explained here. You’ll then find all available Jetpack blocks under the Jetpack block category:

You can also search for a block by name using the search box or by typing a forward slash followed by the block name, e.g., /markdown

Note that some Jetpack blocks require certain Jetpack features to be enabled, and some require a Jetpack plan. See the list below for further details.
