What It Does

This plugin gives the capability to automatically add content before and/or after your posts, pages, or any public custom post types.

It is also possible to prevent your before/after content from showing on a post or a page directly from the editor screen. This works on both Classic Editor and Block Editor. You can also prevent your before/after content from displaying on specific post types or categories.

With this plugin, build your before/after content within the Gutenberg block editor, even if you are using Classic Editor!

Indeed, the block editor is activated for these specific blocks of contents even if Gutenberg is not activated on your website!

I strongly recommend using it alongside one of my other free plugins, Reusable Blocks Extended. These two plugins are totally independent, but together they provide a full editorial experience!

However, it lacks advanced features and has some compatibility issues with certain plugins, which may limit its appeal for users with more complex needs. The absence of a pro version means all users rely on the free offering, which is solid but not feature-rich.
