Add-ons?
-
Will CoBlocks include standard add-ons such as FAQ schema, How-To Schema, Author Box, other Social Share options, among other things, anytime soon?

Hey @droyed, I hope you are doing great,
We are always open to suggestions regarding the additional blocks you would like to see in our next updates 🙂
The blocks you mentioned are already included by the Gutenberg editor by default, and since CoBlocks extends Gutenberg, this would certainly make sense if there is an additional functionality is not covered by Gutenberg already.
Is there any functionality that you would like to have that is not included by those blocks?
Have a nice day,
AndrijaHi Andrija,
Thank you for the response!
Apologies as I didn’t know that WordPress natively came with schema options. Could you indicate where I can find them?
After experimenting with a number of plugins that more or less offer some of the same and some different inclusions, the following would be great to have (not in any order):
Animated header
Tabs content area
Table of contents
Scroll to a section/Anchor block
Email subscriber block
Schema powered blocks
Search block
Team block
Products block
Video upload
Advanced maps
Advanced social share
Countdown
Progress bar block
Counter block
Expand blockHey @droyed,
Looks like you have plenty of ideas for new Blocks. We appreciate that.
Just for reference, the list of the default Gutenberg Blocks can be seen here:

Thanks in advance,
AndrijaHi Andrija,
Thank you so much for your response!
I have recently returned to WordPress after a couple of years. I’m now starting a blog after I lost my job to COVID, hoping that it will some day provide me with a source of income. And so, it is important for me that my blog reflects industry’s best standards and is visually appealing and functionally effective. And so, I started looking at Blocks that can extend Gutenberg’s core functionality. I have found that there are a number of such plugins, but most of them lack certain core functionalities.
For instance, let’s take an example of one blog post. To make a killer and SEO-friendly blog post, it is imperative that it has a Header, Table of Contents, schema-based FAQs, more social share options, among other things.
Now some plugins do Animated Header better than others (e.g., Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg), but they don’t do Click to Tweet or advanced social share. Some (e.g., Ultimate Blocks) do Click to Tweet and Table of Contents, but not Header or schema-FAQs or gallery. You get the point….
As I have been with GoDaddy for the past 8 years, I was delighted to see CoBlocks plugin from them. And that is when I decided to reach out and seek assistance from you.
And so, an option to have animated headers, different posts layouts, schema-powered FAQs and table of contents, content timeline, teams, progress and counter bars, and video popup/background, among other things, would be amazing!
Thank you again for your message! I am looking forward to additional features CoBlocks includes moving forward 🙂
Hey @droyed,
I appreciate your time and effort in explaining the functionality you would like to see.
Thanks for sharing your story, I’m sorry to hear about your struggles and I sincerely hope your blog will be a success.
I made sure to create a feature request for our developers. You can track the progress here:

Thanks again 🙂
AndrijaHi @gdandrija,
Thank you so much for your response!
I’m now going to use CoBlocks just because I’m impressed by your patience and support 👍
At this stage, I’m running it with two other block plugins, but I’m hoping that your developers add new features and functionalities soon so that I don’t have to run multiple plugins.
Cheers!
Thank you for your kind words @droyed, it means a lot 🙂
We are always here to provide assistance and listen to your feedback so we could make CoBlocks even better.
I wish you all the best,
Andrija
