Gutenberg blocks and website builder plugin for WordPress

Spectra Blocks Pro 1.0.7 fixes headers on block themes as the fidelity work continues.

◆Current state
Spectra Blocks spent the autumn on fidelity: matching editor previews to live sites, fixing classic-theme spacing and Site Editor alignment, and letting its content count toward Yoast and Rank Math. 1.0.14 improved front-end loading and Slider accessibility, 1.0.15 added custom HTML attributes, and Pro 1.0.7 fixes per-page headers on Full Site Editor themes along with Loop Builder, Countdown and Modal rendering.
◆Where it's heading
After the AI page import push in September, releases have been about trust in the output: render it correctly, make it count for SEO, now make it fast and accessible. The Pro add-on follows the same cadence with design-token and dynamic-data fixes.
◆Prediction
Expect accessibility passes on other interactive blocks such as tabs or accordions, following the Slider, alongside further Pro fix rounds.

    A Pro fix round so per-page headers, Loop Builder, Countdown and Modal blocks render on the live site as they do in the editor. It is the same editor-versus-front-end fidelity theme the free plugin has worked on since September.

    Spectra Blocks 1.0.13 — reliable spacing on classic themes and correct Site Editor alignment, plus SEO content support

    Spectra content now counts toward Yoast and Rank Math analysis and spacing controls work on classic themes. The fidelity work moves outward to compatibility with the wider WordPress stack, and removes a real reason for SEO-minded sites to avoid block-built pages.

    Spectra Blocks 1.0.12 — accurate Post block images and previews, plus safer block editing

    The fidelity work moves to dynamic content: Post blocks show per-card featured images and include posts from child terms, shortcodes render as Button labels in FSE templates, headers and footers, and server-rendered blocks edit cleanly. It is a step past the preview fixes of recent patches into template-driven sites.
