Blockshifter

설명

Blockshifter is a growing toolbox of display modes for native Gutenberg blocks — no new block types, no leaving the block editor, no learning curve.

Pick a block you already use — Gallery, Group — flip a toggle in its Inspector, and its front-end output transforms. The block itself stays 100% native and editable; nothing about how you write content changes.

Think of Blockshifter as a shape-shifter for your blocks: same content underneath, a different shape on the front end. Today it shifts into a Carousel or a Masonry grid; tomorrow more shapes join the same toolbox, each just as simple to switch on.

Carousel, live today

A clean, minimalist carousel for Gallery and Group blocks, powered by Splide.js — lightweight, accessible, dependency-free. Arrows and pagination are styled to sit quietly on top of your content, in any color, on any background.

• One toggle to turn a block into a carousel
• Slides per page
• Autoplay
• Infinite loop
• Fully responsive, keyboard and screen-reader friendly out of the box

Masonry, live today

A compact, variable-height masonry grid for Gallery and Group blocks, built with native CSS Grid — no third-party library. Every native Gutenberg setting stays in charge: Columns and Gap on Gallery, Gap on Group.

• One toggle to turn a block into a masonry grid
• Columns (Group only — Gallery keeps its own native Columns control)
• Respects each block’s native Gap and responsive behavior
• Degrades gracefully to a regular grid without JavaScript

More shapes are coming

Accordion and other display modes are on the roadmap. Every future module follows the exact same pattern you already know: pick a block, flip a toggle, done.

For developers

The list of blocks a module targets is filterable, so you can extend any module to other core blocks without forking the plugin — the filter name follows blockshifter/<module>/allowed_blocks:

add_filter( 'blockshifter/carousel/allowed_blocks', function( $blocks ) {
    $blocks[] = 'core/columns';
    return $blocks;
} );

add_filter( 'blockshifter/masonry/allowed_blocks', function( $blocks ) {
    $blocks[] = 'core/columns';
    return $blocks;
} );
