The block editor - Plugixa Team
The block puts a saved shortcode on a page without typing a tag.
Step 1: insert the block
Open the inserter and search for Plugixa Team.
Step 2: choose what it shows
The block lands with a placeholder, and its settings appear in the sidebar under Block. There are two display modes:
- Use Saved Shortcode picks one of the shortcodes you built on the Shortcodes screen. This is the one to reach for, because the shortcode points at a view and the view holds the design.
- Custom Configuration sets the options on this block alone.
It selects a SHORTCODE, not a view. That is worth stating plainly because the Elementor widget does the opposite: it selects a view. If the dropdown is empty, you have views but no saved shortcodes yet - build one on the Shortcodes screen first.
Step 3: it renders
Choose a shortcode and the placeholder becomes the team.
The preview is the real design
The block registers its frontend styles for the editor canvas as well as the page, so what you see here is what visitors get. The canvas is an iframe, and the preview is rendered on the server and fetched, so give it a moment on a slow connection: a flat, unstyled flash before it settles is the render arriving, not the styles missing.
Troubleshooting
| What you see | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The block is not in the inserter | The plugin is not active | Check activation |
| The dropdown is empty | No saved shortcodes yet | Build one on the Shortcodes screen |
| The preview looks unstyled | The render has not landed yet | Give it a moment, or reload the editor |
What to do next
Elementor does the same thing with a widget.
