Gutenberg blocks and website builder plugin for WordPress

Spectra Blocks is in a steady polish cycle on its 1.x rebuild, closing editor-to-frontend gaps.

◆Current state
Spectra Blocks ships a free-plugin patch roughly weekly, with a Pro add-on following on its own cadence. Recent releases are almost all fidelity fixes: AI-imported pages rendering like their previews, container backgrounds showing reliably on the front end, and editor previews matching live output. WordPress 7.1 compatibility and White Label support were the last notable feature additions.
◆Where it's heading
The work is about making what users see in the editor, and in AI page previews, match what visitors get. AI page import and the Pro Style Guide are the two areas getting the most attention, which suggests they are where Spectra expects to set itself apart from other block libraries.
◆Prediction
More 1.0.x patches of the same kind are likely. The entries give no sign of a larger feature release, so what comes after this polish phase is unclear.

    Spectra Blocks 1.0.11 — reliable container backgrounds and truer editor previews, plus a mobile scroll fix

    Another fidelity patch: container backgrounds render reliably, image overlays match between editor and live site, and modals stop forcing a horizontal scrollbar on mobile. It continues the 1.0.x pattern of closing editor-to-frontend gaps.

    Spectra Blocks Pro 1.0.5 — Style Guide improvements & fixes

    The Pro add-on smooths Style Guide editing, the design-token layer Pro has been building since its colour sync release. It is incremental, but it keeps Style Guide as Pro's main reason to upgrade.

    Spectra Blocks 1.0.10 — AI pages that match their previews, plus rendering fixes

    AI-imported pages now render exactly like the previews users approve, which removes the main trust problem with AI page generation. The release also makes scroll animations respect the Reduce motion setting.

    Spectra Blocks Pro 1.0.4 — WordPress 7.1 compatibility & White Label

    Pro follows the free plugin onto WordPress 7.1 and adds White Label, which lets agencies ship client sites without Spectra branding. That targets the agency segment more directly.
