Install Unblock

This page walks you through installing Unblock and verifying it works.

Requirements​

Before installing, make sure your site meets these minimums:

  • WordPress 6.7 or higher
  • PHP 8.1 or higher
  • Block Editor enabled (not Classic Editor)

See Requirements for full details.

Install from WordPress admin​

  1. Go to Plugins → Add New
  2. Click Upload Plugin
  3. Select the unblock.zip file
  4. Click Install Now
  5. Click Activate

Install via FTP​

  1. Extract unblock.zip on your computer
  2. Upload the unblock folder to /wp-content/plugins/
  3. Go to Plugins in WordPress admin
  4. Find Unblock and click Activate

Activate your license​

See Activate your license for the full walkthrough.

Verify it works​

  1. Create or edit any page
  2. Click + to add a block
  3. Search for Section or browse the Unblock category
  4. You should see Section, Container, Heading, Paragraph, Anchor, and other Unblock blocks

Troubleshooting​

Blocks not appearing — Make sure you're using the Block Editor, not Classic Editor. Clear your browser cache. Deactivate other plugins one by one to check for conflicts.

Plugin activated but no Unblock category in the block inserter — Check that your WordPress version is 6.7 or higher. Older versions don't support the Block Editor APIs that Unblock requires.

White screen or PHP error after activation — Your PHP version is likely below 8.1. Check your version in Tools → Site Health → Info. Contact your host to upgrade if needed.

Updating​

Unblock updates through the standard WordPress update system. Go to Dashboard → Updates, or enable auto-updates in Plugins. Updates are only available when a valid license is activated on your site.

Uninstalling​

Go to Plugins, deactivate Unblock, then click Delete.

Your data (selectors, variables, at-rules) is kept by default — nothing is removed unless you explicitly opt in to data removal before uninstalling.

Common mistake

Deactivating Unblock does not remove your data. If you want a clean uninstall, enable data removal in the plugin settings before deleting.
