## Description
Save Gutenberg blocks to a personal cloud library and insert them on any WordPress
site. PerAstra BlockVault is a block manager for freelancers and agencies who reuse
the same components across client sites.
Stop rebuilding the same hero sections, CTAs, pricing tables, and testimonials from
scratch on every project. Save once, insert anywhere — no Multisite required.
**Stop rebuilding the same sections from scratch on every client site.**
#### Key Features
* **Save any blocks** — Select one or more blocks, click save, done.
* **Insert anywhere** — Open your library on any WordPress site and insert in one
click.
* **Search, filter, and sort** — Find blocks by name or category; filter by Favorites
or by Collection; sort newest, oldest, or A–Z / Z–A.
* **Favorites (pinning)** — Pin your most-used blocks to the top. (Solo plan or
higher.)
* **Collections** — Group related blocks into named collections for projects or
client sites. (Solo plan or higher.)
* **Inline edit** — Rename blocks, change categories, add notes, and assign collections
without leaving the sidebar.
* **Bulk actions** — Multi-select blocks for bulk delete (with confirmation) or
duplicate.
* **Keyboard shortcut** — Save selected blocks without reaching for the mouse.
* **Content preview** — See a text preview of saved blocks before inserting.
* **CSS capture (opt-in)** — Optionally extract theme CSS so blocks look identical
on other sites. (Pro plan or higher.)
* **Notes** — Add private notes to any block for future reference. (Solo plan or
higher.)
* **In-plugin sign-up / login** — Create a free account or log in right from the
settings page — no copy-pasting keys required.
* **Automatic local-to-cloud migration** — Any blocks you saved in local mode transfer
to your account automatically the first time you connect.
* **Usage meter** — See your current block usage against your plan limit at a glance.
* **Works across sites** — Connect your account to sync blocks across completely
separate WordPress installs.
* **No multisite required** — Works on any standard WordPress installation.
* **Block context menu** — Right-click any block and choose “Save to BlockVault”.
* **Local mode** — Works offline with browser storage when no account is connected.
#### How it Works
1. Design a block or section on any WordPress site
2. Select the blocks in the editor
3. Click “Save to BlockVault” — name it, categorize it
4. On another site, open the BlockVault sidebar
5. Search or browse your library, click Insert
#### Use Cases
* **Freelancers** — Build a library of hero sections, CTAs, pricing tables, and
testimonials. Reuse across client projects.
* **Agencies** — Share branded components across your team and client sites.
* **Content creators** — Save frequently used layouts and insert them instantly.
#### External Services
When an API key is configured, this plugin connects to the BlockVault cloud API (
operated by PerAstra) to sync your block library across sites. The following data
is transmitted:
* Your API key (for authentication)
* Your site URL (for per-site tracking)
* Block names, categories, and markup content (when saving or retrieving blocks)
No data is sent when using local mode (no API key configured).
* BlockVault cloud API endpoint: [https://api.block-vault.com](https://api.block-vault.com)
* Privacy Policy: [https://block-vault.com/privacy](https://block-vault.com/privacy)
* Terms of Service: [https://block-vault.com/terms](https://block-vault.com/terms)
#### Source Code & Development
The full unminified source and the build tooling required to regenerate the compiled
files are both included inside the plugin zip AND hosted publicly on GitHub.
* Source repository: [https://github.com/Samuel-Gassama/perastra-blockvault](https://github.com/Samuel-Gassama/perastra-blockvault)
#### Source vs compiled files
The plugin zip contains both the original source and the compiled output:
* `src/` — original unminified JavaScript (React / JSX) and SCSS source. Everything
the UI does is here.
- `src/index.js` — editor plugin entry point (registers the sidebar and context-
menu integration)
- `src/components/` — sidebar, block list, block item, save modal
- `src/store/` — `@wordpress/data` Redux store
- `src/api/` — cloud API client, localStorage fallback, and the router between
them
- `src/hooks/`, `src/utils/` — helpers for selected-block access, color/CSS
resolution
- `src/style.scss` — sidebar styles
* `build/` — compiled output loaded by WordPress. Not edited by hand. Includes:
- `build/index.js` (minified bundle of everything under `src/`)
- `build/style-index.css` and `build/style-index-rtl.css` (compiled from `src/
style.scss`)
- `build/index.asset.php` (auto-generated dependency manifest)
#### Build requirements
* Node.js 18 or later
* npm (comes with Node)
The only build tool is [@wordpress/scripts](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/packages/packages-scripts/),
the official WordPress build wrapper around webpack + Babel. No custom webpack or
Babel config is used — the defaults from `@wordpress/scripts` are used verbatim.
#### Rebuilding the compiled files
From the plugin directory, run:
```
npm install
npm run build
```
That produces the contents of `build/` from `src/`. Other available commands (defined
in `package.json`):
* `npm run start` — watch mode during development
* `npm run lint:js` — lint JavaScript
* `npm run lint:css` — lint SCSS
No PHP compilation is required — all PHP files (`perastra-blockvault.php`, `uninstall.
php`, `includes/*.php`) are the original human-readable source.
## Screenshots
* [[
* The BlockVault sidebar in the Gutenberg editor — save multiple blocks at once,
search your library, filter by category or collection.
* [[
* Save modal with all options: name, category, internal notes, and one-click CSS
capture so blocks render identically on every site.
* [[
* Your saved block library, with favorites pinned to the top and category tags
for quick scanning.

* In-plugin sign-up and log-in — create a free account and get your API key directly
from the WordPress settings page, no copy-pasting required.
## Installation
1. Upload the `perastra-blockvault` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` (or install from
the Plugins screen)
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu
3. Open the Gutenberg editor — find BlockVault in the sidebar. You can start saving
blocks immediately in local mode.
4. (Optional) Go to Settings BlockVault and create a free account, or log in with
an existing one. Any blocks you already saved locally will be migrated to your
account automatically.
## FAQ
### Do I need an account?
No. Without an account, BlockVault works in local mode — blocks are saved in your
browser. Create an account at block-vault.com to sync across sites.
### Does it work with any theme?
Yes. BlockVault saves raw Gutenberg block markup, which is theme-independent. When
you save a block, BlockVault automatically converts any theme-dependent colors,
gradients, and font sizes into inline styles so they look the same on any site regardless
of the active theme.
### Will my block colors transfer to another site?
Yes. BlockVault automatically resolves palette colors (background, text, border,
gradients) and preset font sizes to their actual values at the time you save. This
means your blocks keep their exact styling even if the destination site uses a completely
different theme or color palette. Custom CSS classes added by third-party plugins
or themes are not converted — for best cross-site results, use the built-in Gutenberg
color and typography controls.
### What about images in blocks?
Images are saved as URLs. When inserting on a different site, you may need to re-
upload images to the new site’s media library. Automatic image handling is planned
for a future update.
### Can I share blocks with my team?
Team sharing is available on the Agency plan. Free and Solo plans are personal libraries.
### How is BlockVault different from block-pack plugins like Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg, Kadence Blocks, or GenerateBlocks?
Those plugins add new block types (Info Box, Counter, Pricing Table, etc.) to the
Gutenberg inserter. BlockVault doesn’t add new blocks — it saves and syncs the compositions
you build. The two are complementary: you build a hero section using UAG, Kadence,
or core blocks, then save that composition to your BlockVault library and insert
it on any other WordPress site in one click. BlockVault works alongside any block-
pack plugin.
### How is BlockVault different from WordPress’s built-in Reusable Blocks (now called Synced Patterns)?
Built-in Reusable Blocks are stored in the database of one WordPress site. They
cannot be moved to a different WordPress install without exporting and importing.
BlockVault stores your blocks in a personal cloud library tied to your account,
so you can insert the same block on any WordPress site that has the plugin connected
to your account. Built-in Reusable Blocks also “sync” any edit back to every instance,
while BlockVault inserts a fresh copy that you’re free to customize per-site.
### How is BlockVault different from WordPress Multisite?
Multisite lets you run many WordPress sites from one installation, sharing core,
themes, and plugins. It’s powerful for university networks or media chains, but
invasive to set up and overkill for freelance work where each client site lives
on its own hosting account, its own domain, and often its own theme. BlockVault
works on any standard WordPress install — no Multisite required. Your library lives
in the cloud, not inside any one WP install.
### Does BlockVault work with my page builder (Elementor, Bricks, Beaver Builder, Divi, etc.)?
BlockVault is built specifically for the Gutenberg block editor (the WordPress core
editor). Page builders like Elementor and Divi use their own internal data formats,
not Gutenberg block markup, so blocks built inside those builders cannot be saved
through BlockVault. If you use the Gutenberg editor (with or without additional
block plugins like UAG, Kadence, GenerateBlocks, or CoBlocks), BlockVault works.
