Bootstrap Gutenberg Blocks for WordPress. Supports Bootstrap 4 and Bootstrap 5 (experimental). This plugin adds Bootstrap components and layout options as Gutenberg blocks.
- Fluid: If enabled the container will use the full available width, spanning the entire width of the viewport.
- Fluid Breakpoint: Used to enable responsive containers. This feature only works with Bootstrap v4.4+. The container will use 100% of the width until the specified breakpoint is reached, after which the defined max-widths will apply for each of the higher breakpoints.
- Margin After: Define a margin which should be added after the container.
- Template: Choose from a predefined template for the inner
column
blocks. - No Gutters: Disable gutters between columns.
- Alignment: Horizontal alignment of inner
column
blocks. - Vertical Alignment: Vertical alignment of inner
column
blocks. - Editor stack columns: Displays stacked columns in the editor to enhance readability of block content.
- Horizontal Gutters: Size of horizontal gutters.
- Vertical Gutters: Size of vertical gutters.
- Sizes for all breakpoints (xxl, xl, lg, md, sm, xs): How much space the column should use for the given breakpoint.
- Equal width for all breakpoints (xxl, xl, lg, md, sm, xs): If enabled column will spread width evenly with other columns.
- Background Color: Set background color to column.
- Center content: Center content vertically in column. This option is only needed if a background color is set. Otherwise use the Alignment option of the outer
row
block. - Padding: Define padding inside the column.
- Style: Choose the styling of the button.
- Open in new tab: Choose if link should be opened in a new tab.
- Rel: Set rel attribute of the link.
- Alignment: Horizontal alignment of the button.

This plugin supports Bootstrap v4 and v5 (experimental). The support for v5 is still flagged as experimental since this version of Bootstrap is not officially released yet. The API could still change which could affect the options defined in this plugin.
The version can be selected in the plugin settings (Settings > Bootstrap Blocks) or by defining the WP_BOOTSTRAP_BLOCKS_BOOTSTRAP_VERSION
constant in the wp-config.php
file:
- Bootstrap 4 (default):
define( 'WP_BOOTSTRAP_BLOCKS_BOOTSTRAP_VERSION', '4' );
- Bootstrap 5:
define( 'WP_BOOTSTRAP_BLOCKS_BOOTSTRAP_VERSION', '5' );
Possible values right now are '4'
or '5'
. By default Bootstrap version 4 is selected.
Please be aware that this plugin does not include the Bootstrap library in your website. You need to do this by yourself. We decided not to include the library so that you can modify Bootstrap to your own needs before loading it.
The easiest way to do this is to add the following to your theme's function.php
:
function mytheme_load_bootstrap() {
if ( is_admin() ) {
return;
}
wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap', 'https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css', array(), '4.3.1' );
wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' ); // Remove WP jQuery version
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery', 'https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js', array(), '3.3.1', true );
wp_enqueue_script( 'popper.js', 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.7/umd/popper.min.js', array(), '1.14.7', true );
wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrap', 'https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js', array(), '4.3.1', true );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mytheme_load_bootstrap' );
All blocks are implemented as dynamic blocks. This makes it possible to overwrite the template of a block in your theme.
To overwrite a block template create a folder called wp-bootstrap-blocks/
in your theme directory.
You can copy the original template from wp-bootstrap-blocks/src/templates/<blockname>.php
as a starting point and adjust it to your needs.

If you have a script called block-filters.js
inside your theme root you can enqueue it by adding the following code to your functions.php
file.
function mytheme_enqueue_block_editor_assets() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'block-filters', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/block-filters.js', array( 'wp-hooks' ), '1.0.0', true );
}
add_action( 'enqueue_block_editor_assets', 'mytheme_enqueue_block_editor_assets' );

There are two types of tests for this plugin:
- PHPUnit Tests: Used to validate generated block output. Since this plugin uses dynamic blocks which are rendered on the server side we need to test them with PHPUnit tests.
- Puppeteer E2E Tests: Used to validate block behaviour in the editor.
The PHPUnit tests are stored in the phpunit/
directory.
They use fixtures to validate the block output.
Each block variant which should be tested needs a manually created file called blockname__variant.html
.
This file contains the block presentation in the editor (a.k.a. the HTML comment presentation) and needs to be stored in the following folder:
phpunit/blockname/fixtures/blockname_variant.html
The second fixture of each variant is the blockname_variant.output.html
file.
This file gets automatically generated if the test runs for the first time and the environment variable WP_BOOTSTRAP_BLOCKS_RECORD
in the phpunit.xml.dist
file is set to true
.
To run the tests use the following command:
npm run test:unit:php
or the following command to run a specific test:
npm run test:unit:php -- --filter 'my_test'
The Puppeteer E2E Tests are stored in the e2e-tests
directory.
To run the tests use the following command:
npm run test:e2e
or the following command to run a specific test:
npm run test:e2e -- -t 'my test'
To update the snapshots run the following command:
npm run test:e2e -- -u
