Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites to use this block pattern. You can copy and paste this code into your site and it should work immediately. However if you want the icons, you will need the JVM Rich Text Icons plugin active on your site.

Note: At the time of publishing (July 2023) there are no controls to handle the hover, focus, or active states for buttons. So you may need additional custom CSS to handle this.

Switch between the live preview and the code view to see what this might look like on your site and how to get it there

How do I use block patterns on my site on CMS?

Block Patterns in WordPress are HTML with CSS (provided by special HTML comments). That means you’re able to simply copy a block (or selection of blocks) from one place, and paste them somewhere else, and they should look identical. In order to get the above block pattern on your site, try the following:

  1. Click the ‘Code’ tab above
  2. Click the ‘Copy to Clipboard’ icon in the top right of the code that is shown
  3. On your own site, add a new paragraph block to a post or a page
  4. Paste (ctrl+v on Windows, cmd+v on macOS) what you have on your clipboard
  5. Done!
