How it works
- Install Blockora Morph.
- Browse the design library.

Optionally open Global Settings to set brand tokens (fonts/colors) and icon libraries used across your Blockora Morph library.
Built for Modern WordPress
- Plugin-owned CSS variables
- Theme-safe styling
- Native Gutenberg support
- Block themes & Classic themes
- Local assets by default
- No external account required
Under the hood:
- Styles use plugin-owned CSS custom properties (
--bm-*) underuploads/joc-blockora-morph/— theme-safe branding that does not replace your theme’s palette. - Optional Gutenberg presets use
bm-slugs; your theme’s own presets stay intact. - Editor Blocks appear in the inserter; Content Blocks expose fixed content via
[jocbm_blockora_morph id="…"](legacy[joc_blockora_morph id="…"]still works). - Built-in Dashicons; optional Font Awesome / Material Icons via a stylesheet URL you provide.
- Local placeholders for hero/media defaults — no third-party image CDN required out of the box.
Privacy & Security
Privacy first — Blockora Morph keeps your data on your website.
- No tracking
- No telemetry
- No mandatory account
- No remote services by default
- Local assets
Technical details:
- Admin capabilities — REST and settings actions require appropriate WordPress capabilities (
edit_postsfor library/import flows;manage_optionsfor theme tokens, icon libraries, system reset, and icon stylesheet scans). - Sanitized output — block attributes and markup go through plugin sanitizers / allowed-HTML rules before save and front-end render.
- Safe optional remotes — if you add a custom font or icon stylesheet URL, the server validates it with
wp_http_validate_urland fetches viawp_safe_remote_get. Visitors only load those assets when you enable them. - Data erasure helper — Global Settings System can permanently delete Blockora Morph blocks, shortcodes, generated CSS, and brand settings (admin only). This is plugin data cleanup, not a substitute for a full site privacy program.
- Optional third parties you configure — embedding YouTube/Vimeo, or loading Google Fonts / CDN icon CSS, causes the visitor’s browser to contact those services. Disclose that in your site privacy policy if you use those options. Defaults use local Inter (admin) and local placeholders — no Google Fonts CDN out of the box.
Site owners remain responsible for their own privacy notices, consent banners, and lawful basis when processing personal data in WordPress content.
Compatibility
- Requires WordPress 6.4+ and PHP 8.0+. Older environments cannot activate and show a clear admin message.
- Tested up to WordPress 7.0. If your WordPress version is newer than our Tested up to value, the directory may show “Untested with your version of WordPress” until we verify that release.
- Classic and block themes are both supported. Wide/full alignment includes a Blockora Morph-scoped fallback for classic themes.

FAQ
-
What is JOC Blockora Morph?
-
JOC Blockora Morph (Blockora Morph) helps you build better WordPress websites with Gutenberg using professional, reusable blocks you can customize, brand, and reuse—without a page builder. Import website sections from the library, brand them, use them in the Block Editor, and optionally publish fixed content as shortcodes.
-
Is this plugin GPL?
-
Yes. GPLv2 or later. See
license.txtandcopyright.txt. -
What WordPress versions are supported?
-
WordPress 6.4 or newer and PHP 8.0 or newer are required. The plugin will not activate below those versions and shows a compatibility notice explaining what to update.
-
Why does the plugin directory say “Untested with your version of WordPress”?
-
That message appears when your WordPress version is newer than our Tested up to value (currently 7.0). After each major WordPress release we re-test Blockora Morph. Until that work is done, wordpress.org shows the standard untested label. It does not mean the plugin is incompatible — only that that release is not fully verified yet.
-
Will Blockora Morph break if I change my theme?
-
No. Block markup and styles use plugin-owned CSS variables (
--bm-*) and stylesheets. Brand settings add optional Gutenberg presets withbm-slugs and leave your theme’s own presets in place. -
What is the difference between Editor Blocks and Content Blocks?
-
Editor Blocks are registered for the Gutenberg inserter so you can place and edit them while building a page. Content Blocks store a fixed content snapshot and expose it via a shortcode (
[jocbm_blockora_morph id="…"]) for reuse in templates, widgets, or classic layouts. The legacy tag[joc_blockora_morph id="…"]remains supported. -
Can I use it commercially?
-
Yes, under the terms of the GPL. You may charge for distribution or services, but you must keep the software free (as in freedom) for recipients, including source availability as required by the GPL.
-
Do you load Google Fonts by default?
-
No. Defaults use system font stacks plus the bundled Inter font for the admin UI. Optional remote font stylesheet URLs are only loaded when you configure them in Theme Configuration, and you are responsible for having rights to use those fonts.
-
Where is customized CSS stored?
-
In your uploads directory under
/wp-content/uploads/joc-blockora-morph/. -
Does the plugin require an account or send data off-site?
-
No. There is no signup wall and no phone-home telemetry. Optional remote URLs (for example a custom icon stylesheet) are only requested when you explicitly configure them.
-
Is JOC Blockora Morph GDPR compliant?
-
The plugin itself does not collect personal data from visitors or send data to JayOnCode. Content you store (copy, images, shortcodes) lives in your WordPress database and uploads. If you enable remote fonts, icon CDNs, or video embeds, those third parties may process visitor IPs — document that in your site privacy policy. Administrators can wipe plugin data from Global Settings System.
-
Is there a Pro version?
-
Blockora Morph will continue growing with optional Pro features while keeping the free plugin fully functional. Advanced features may arrive later as a separate Pro extension.
-
How can I get support?
-
Use the WordPress.org support forum for the free plugin, or visit jayoncode.com for more information.
