After weeks of hard work, we’re excited to introduce two powerful new updates in Nexter Blocks that are going to make your website-building a whole lot easier.

Say hello to Global Block Styles and the Form Block in Nexter Blocks.

With these updates, you can now build websites faster, maintain consistency in your designs, and make your website workflow smoother than ever.

Whether you’re a freelancer juggling multiple sites, part of a creative agency, a small business owner growing your online presence, or a brand scaling your design system, these updates will help you stay organized and move faster.

So, what are these updates, why do they matter, and how will they make your work easier (and more fun)? 

Let’s walk through them together.

Update 1: Introducing Global Block Styles

Let’s dig deeper to better understand this new update.

What is a Global Block Styles in Nexter Blocks?

You already know and love Global Colors and Global Typography, right? Pick a color and typography once and use it everywhere, simple and time-saving.

Now imagine having that same magic, but for block styling. That’s exactly what Global Block Styles brings to the table!

With it, you can create and manage styles for your Gutenberg blocks, including padding, margin, border, background, alignment, and more, all from one place.

So instead of applying the same styles to each block manually (again and again), you can now:

• Set a style once and reuse it anywhere
  
• Update global styles in one place and see changes site-wide
  
• Keep your designs consistent without repetitive work
  

It’s a smarter, faster way to design; for this, your future self will thank you.

It’s your ultimate design consistency hack.

How Global Block Styles is Different from Global Colors and Global Typography

Why This Update Actually Matters to You

Here’s what Global Block Styles solves: the real-life pain points:

Tired of Repeating Yourself?

Let’s say you’ve styled a Testimonial block: added padding, background color, rounded corners, and spacing. Now you want that exact look for other Testimonial blocks on five more pages. 

Instead of restyling each one from scratch, save your design as a Global Style Preset. 

A Global Style Preset is a saved set of styling options like padding, colors, borders, and typography that you can apply to any Nexter Block. 

Now, simply apply the same Global Block Preset to other Testimonial blocks, and watch the styling update across all of them.

No More Guesswork! Stay Consistent

Ever noticed that one CTA button looks slightly off compared to the others?

With Global Styles, once you set your design, every block using that style follows the same rules. 

No more second-guessing, just a consistent look across the board.

Create Different Looks for the Same Block! No Duplicates, No Hassle

With Global Styles, you can apply different styles to the same block on different pages. 

For example, you can set one style for a block on your blog page and another on your product page.

Simply switch between presets for each block without duplicating the block itself. This gives you flexibility while maintaining design consistency across your site.

Collaborating or Passing It Off?

If you’re working with a team or handing over the site to a client, it’s easy. Just say: “Change the ‘CTA Block Style’ and it’ll update site-wide.”

Super simple and stress-free.

How Does Global Block Styles Work?

It’s super simple! Let’s walk through the steps together! 

1. Activate the Global Block Style

From your WordPress dashboard, go to Nexter Blocks > Dashboard. 

Choose Blocks on the left side of the Nexter Blocks dashboard and select Extras.

Make sure the Global Block Style block is toggled on

. 

2. Drag and drop the desired Nexter Block

Now, open a post or page where you want to add style to Nexter Blocks.

Drag and drop any Nexter block you want to style, whether it’s an Info Box, Accordion, or anything else. 

3. Create a Global Block Style

Select the block you want to style, let’s say you’re using the Blockquote block.

Once selected, click on the settings icon at the top of the screen.

Next, head to the left panel, open the Advanced tab, and then go to Global Block Style.

Click on Add Style, give your style a name, and save it.

Let’s say you give it a name, ‘BlockquoteGradient.’

Now go ahead and customize the block, adjust the padding, margin, background, borders, and anything else you need.

That’s it! Your design is now saved as a Global Style Preset you can reuse anytime.

4. Reuse the Global Block Style

Want that same design on other Accordion blocks across your site? Easy.

Just select the block, head to the Global Style dropdown, and choose the preset (BlockquoteGradient) you saved earlier. Now the ‘BlockquoteGradient’ style will be applied to your selected block.

And just like that, the styling is instantly applied.

Simple, fast, and consistent. Isn’t it?

It’s like having a remote control for your site’s layout.

How does the Form Block Work?

Let’s walk through the steps.

3.  Select the Form Layout

After you have inserted the Form Block, you’ll now be asked to select the form layout – Simple Contact Form or Newsletter Form.

A Simple Contact Form will have 4 default fields – First name, Last name, Email, and Message, along with a submit button.

A Newsletter Form will have an Email field and a submit button.

4. Customize & Publish the Form

Now select the Form block and select the setting icons present at the top of your screen. 

Doing so settings of the Form Block will open.

Now, under the Layout tab, you’ll see various customization options:

• Label & Placeholder – Change the label and placeholder text (e.g., from “First Name” to “Your Name”) to better match your form’s tone.
  
• Help Text – Toggle this on if you want to add extra instructions or context beneath the field.
  
• Required – Turn this on if the field must be filled before submission.
  
• Additional Validation – Enable this to set conditions like the maximum number of characters.
  
• Auto Fill – Choose whether to allow autofill options based on the user’s browser settings.

Switch to the Advanced tab to fine-tune the design:

• Apply a Global Block Style
  
• Adjust spacing, background, borders, and animations
  
• Control visibility with Display Rules and tweak responsive settings
  
• Add custom CSS if needed
  

Once everything looks good, hit Publish, and your form is ready to go!
