Wbcom Essential, Reign’s page-building blocks and widgets

Section titled “Wbcom Essential, Reign’s page-building blocks and widgets”

Wbcom Essential is part of Reign. Reign handles your site’s design, header, footer and settings; Wbcom Essential gives you the building pieces for the pages themselves: heroes, pricing tables, sliders, FAQs, member and group grids, product displays and more. Everything it offers is part of what you get with Reign, at no extra cost.

It works in both editors: you get blocks for the WordPress block editor and widgets for Elementor.

Install it

Section titled “Install it”

Go to Reign Settings > Extend. Wbcom Essential is the first card. Select Install free; no licence is needed. When the card says Connected, the blocks and widgets are ready.

You can also download it from the Wbcom Essential page on the Wbcom store, then go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, choose the zip file, and select Install Now and Activate. Use this if your host blocks installs from the dashboard, or if you want to keep a copy of the zip.

Blocks for the block editor

Section titled “Blocks for the block editor”

In the block editor, open the block inserter (the + button). Wbcom Essential’s blocks are grouped in categories that start with Essential:

Category Blocks
Essential - Marketing Hero Section, CTA Section, Feature Grid, Pricing Table, Promo Banner, Testimonial Carousel, Countdown Timer
Essential - Content FAQ Accordion, Tabs, Timeline, Portfolio Grid, Login Form
Essential - Blog Post Carousel, Posts Ticker, Category Grid
Essential - Design Flip Box, Progress Bar, Stats Counter, Text Rotator
Essential - BuddyPress Activity Feed, Members Grid, Members Carousel, Groups Grid, Group Carousel
Essential - WooCommerce Product Grid, Product Carousel, Customer Reviews
Essential - EDD Product Catalog, EDD Account Dashboard, EDD Enhanced Checkout, EDD Order Success

Every block has desktop, tablet and phone settings, and can use your theme’s colours, so it matches the rest of your Reign site.

Combine them with Reign’s block patterns: patterns give you whole ready-made sections, and Wbcom Essential blocks give you the individual pieces to build or extend them.

Widgets for Elementor

Section titled “Widgets for Elementor”
