A feature list is easier to scan when each point has a shape of its own — an icon, a heading and a line of explanation, repeated.
That is what the Infobox block builds, either as a single box you place where you want it or as a carousel of them.
Before You Start
- Edition: Free — the Infobox block works in Nexter Blocks (free) and with Nexter Blocks Pro.
- Block to enable: Infobox, switched on under Nexter > Blocks in your WordPress dashboard.

Steps
- Add the Infobox block to your page.
- Choose a Style for the box.
- Set the Icon Type — an icon, your own image, a short piece of text, or none.
- Write the Title and Description.
- Optionally switch on Full Box Link so the whole card is clickable.
Full Box Link changes how much of the box is clickable. Measured: with it on, the link element covers the whole card — exactly the card’s width and height; with it off, only the title is a link. See the full box link doc.
How It Behaves
| Icon Type | What renders in the box |
|---|---|
| Icon | A font icon from the library — the default. |
| Image | Your own image in place of the icon. See the image box doc. |
| Text | A short piece of text, useful for numbered steps. |
| None | No icon at all — just the title and description. |
- Listing is the default layout: one box, placed wherever you put the block.
- Carousel turns the block into a slider of boxes — but it reads its own separate items, see the warning below. Full carousel doc
- A carousel can be driven by a separate remote control block — see connecting to Carousel Remote.
- All six styles render the same content in a different arrangement.
The carousel layout uses a different set of content fields. Measured on a published page: a block with its Title set to “Fast delivery” rendered “Amazing Feature 1” once switched to carousel, because the carousel reads its own repeater rather than the single Title and Description used by the listing layout. Fill in the carousel’s own items after switching.
Limitations
- Switching to carousel does not carry your Title and Description across — measured, the carousel shows its own items instead.
- A listing Infobox is one box per block, so a row of four features means four blocks (or one carousel).
- The icon text field is for a word or a number, not a sentence.
- Styles are a fixed set of arrangements rather than a free layout.
Troubleshooting
My carousel shows the wrong text
The carousel layout uses a different set of content fields. Measured on a published page: a block with its Title set to “Fast delivery” rendered “Amazing Feature 1” once switched to carousel, because the carousel reads its own repeater rather than the single Title and Description used by the listing layout. Fill in the carousel’s own items after switching.
Only the title is clickable
Switch Full Box Link on — measured, that makes the link cover the whole card rather than just the heading.
My icon is not showing
Check Icon Type is not set to None, and that an icon or image is actually chosen for the type you picked.
I want several boxes side by side
Place one Infobox block per column, or use the carousel layout if you would rather they slide.
