AitAttman Blocks plugin works perfectly with block themes and the Site Editor. ### Is this plugin really free? Yes, absolutely. This plugin is 100% free and open-source under the GPL license. There are no \”Pro\” versions, no hidden subscriptions, and no locked features. Everything you see is what you get. ### Can I add other blocks inside Side-panel block? Yes. You can place other blocks inside **Side-panel** blocks. ### How to open/close Side-panel block? You can add **Triggers Class Name** in configuration sidebar of Side-panel, and then add this CSS class name to triggers like buttons that will open the Side-panel. To make the trigger to close the Side-panel add extra CSS class named “action-close”. For instance, if the triggers class name is “sidemenu-trigger”, and to close the Side-panel by a button, just add to that button these two classes: **“sidemenu-trigger action-close”** ### Can I display svg icons using this plugin? Yes. With **Button** block, you can add svg icon in the sidebar controls. You can as well add text side by side with the icon and add link or make it simple element for display purposes. You can copy svg icons from websites that offer free icons like [https://lucide.dev/icons](https://lucide.dev/icons). ### Can I display any photos in the Slider? No. The _Slider_ in current version can only display posts featured thumbnails with posts titles as captions. The Slider is meant to display recent posts by category( and other criteria). ### Why Slider or Query Posts does not display live preview in the editor? For performance reasons, you can only see an example of these blocks; _Slider_ and _Query Posts_, not live preview in the editor. However, you can see the resulting block anytime on your public site. ### How does Theme Controllers block change site theme ? This block updates the data-theme=”{theme}” attribute (where {theme} value can be: light, dark, or system) whenever the user clicks on the theme icon on the public site. Keep in mind that this block does not register the theme value in database; instead, it uses browser’s _localStorage_ to persist the user’s preference. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “AitAttman Blocks” is open source software.
