10 new Gutenberg blocks with section templates and page templates. With C9 Blocks + Themes, the digital agency is built right into the code.
COVERT NINE‘s C9 Blocks plugin provides 10 new Gutenberg blocks, plus an interface for creating pages from section templates, or fully-built page templates. Block landing page templates are usable for any purpose but are designed to give organizations a head start on creating landing pages with specific purposes for their audience.
The landing page templates are organized in a modal by the “content journey” step (Awareness, Consideration, Conversion). After installing the plugin, they can be accessed from the feather logo icon in the upper right corner.
Plugin can be installed from the WordPress admin via file upload or by cloning the Github repo. We recommend using a C9 supported theme with the C9 Blocks plugin, but it also works with the Twenty Twenty Four, Twenty Twenty One, Twenty Twenty and Twenty Nineteen WordPress themes. We recommend using the C9 Starter, C9 Work theme, or C9 Togo theme to see C9 Blocks in action, or signup for the C9 early access list to get all of our premium themes and plugins for free! We currently have four blocks-based themes and four child themes available for early access list subscribers and an exclusive C9 Blocks Animation Plugin to animate any core WordPress blocks or C9 Blocks.

The C9 Starter Theme is a responsive and minimal, CSS Grid-based, Bootstrap 4 theme that utilizes most of Bootstrap’s components and works seamlessly with C9 Blocks and the Gutenberg block editor. It’s based on Understrap, but with an innovative approach to using Gutenberg’s editing system.

The current blocks plugin supports the WordPress Twenty Nineteen, WordPress Twenty Twenty, WordPress Twenty Twenty One, C9 Starter, C9 Music, C9 Work, and the C9 Togo WordPress themes.
We’re working to make the plugin work with other themes as well. If you have a page template that supports full-width layouts, then the C9 Blocks plugin should work with most Bootstrap and some non-Bootstrap themes.
