How to Enable, Disable, or Hide Blocks

Customizing which Stackable blocks are available in the editor allows you to streamline your workflow and keep your block library organized.

How to Enable, Disable, or Hide Blocks

1. Navigate to Settings > Stackable in your WordPress dashboard.
2. Navigate to Settings > Blocks
3. Select the setting for each block.
4. You can also just use the bulk controls to enable, disable, or hide all Stackable blocks at once.

Understanding Block Visibility Options

Enabled Blocks

These appear in the Inserter under the Stackable drawer and can be used in the editor.

Hidden Blocks

Hidden blocks do not appear in the Inserter but remain functional if they were previously added to a page.

Disabled Blocks

Disabled blocks are completely unregistered–meaning they will not appear in the Inserter and cannot be used, even in existing content.

If a disabled block is used in a pattern or block variation, it will automatically be replaced with a core block to ensure the design remains intact.

E.g. If the Stackable Button block is disabled, and you add the Card block, it will instead use the core Button block.

If the block is required for another block to function, it will disable those blocks as well. For example, when you disable the Icon block, it will also disable those other blocks that contain it, such as the Accordion block, Icon Label block, etc.
