Below you find a table that lists all core blocks available in the inserter marks in the grid the feature they support in the block editor. It’s a basic lookup table that helps developers to find the information quickly.

While this post is released as part of 6.8, the content summarizes changes between 6.1 and 7.0. This is an updated of the 6.8 edition and provides a cumulative list of design supports added with the last ten WordPress releases. The icon ☑ indicates new in 6.9 or 7.0.

The features covered are:

  • Align

  • Typography

  • Color

  • Dimension

  • Border

  • Layout

  • Gradient

  • Duotone

  • Shadow

  • Background image

Changes to Blocks

  • The Verse block was renamed to Poetry block in WordPress 7.0

  • New Blocks added

Accordion with Accordion Heading, Accordion Item, Accordion Panel

  • Breadcrumbs

  • Icon

  • Math

  • Post Time to Read

  • Term Query with Term Template, Term Count, Term Name

Table changes

In previous editions of this roster, the PO/BB column tracked a small, hardcoded set of core blocks where Pattern Overrides and Block Bindings were manually enabled — Button, Image, Paragraph, and Heading. That model no longer reflects how the feature works. WordPress 6.9 moved Block Bindings to a server-communicated list of supported attributes via the block_bindings_supported_attributes filter, and WordPress 7.0 extended that same mechanism to Pattern Overrides, so any block attribute that opts into Block Bindings now also supports Pattern Overrides — including custom blocks. Because support is opt-in per block, per attribute, and per site, a single check mark in a lookup table can no longer represent it accurately. The column has been removed in favor of a note pointing readers to the Pattern Overrides in WP 7.0 and Block Bindings improvements in 6.9 dev notes.
