Summary
If you are a Bellevue College website manager who is currently using the WordPress Block Editor, we have created the following custom blocks for you to use. They are documented below. Other blocks are part of WordPress Core, and are documented on WordPress.org
Bellevue College Custom Blocks
Available Blocks:
Accordion (aka Collapse/Collapsables) (all sites)
Allows you to create an Accordion style element on your page. Once you add a Collapsable block, you will add multiple Collapse blocks within it.
Accordion Section (updated department sites only)
The accordion section places an accordion within a larger section, including a heading and related links.

Alert (all sites)
Allows you to create Alerts in the Block Editor. Once you insert the alert, you can add additional blocks inside. Alerts are to be used to highlight critical information and announcements. Where possible, consider using the Announcement Banner instead!

Button (all sites)
The button block allows you to insert simple buttons that link to the webpage of your choice. These are great for 'Call to Action' buttons!
Card (aka Panel) (all sites)
Allows you to insert a 'Card' featuring content in a self-contained 'module'.
Card Section (updated department sites only)

Checkerboard Section (core site and redesigned department sites)
Child Pages (legacy sites only)
If your page has child pages assigned, the child pages block will automatically display a list or grid of all child pages. This replaces the older 'Templates' functionality in the classic editor. You can choose how child pages display.
Contact Selector Section (updated department sites only)
This section can display contact information for a group of people.
Course (all sites)
The Course block allows you to insert official Bellevue College course information into your website.
Degrees and Certificates Section (updated department sites only)
Differentiator Section (updated department sites only)
Labelled 'BC Core Site Differentiator Section' in the editor. Allows you to display stats that make your program different from competitors. Note: The core site has a similar block, but it uses a different editing interface.
Row/Column (all sites)
Allows you to create a multi-column layout using responsive columns. Using columns is slightly more complex than other blocks.
- Insert a Row block
- Click the Add Column button to insert as many columns as you wish
- If you want unevenly sized columns, use the options on the sidebar to resize the columns as you wish
- To add content, select the column you wish to edit, then insert whatever content you would like
Intro Text (aka Lead) (all sites)
Designed for page introductions, the Lead block makes text slightly larger.
Listing Section (updated department sites only)
The listing section allows you to display a list of related content items within a section.
Media Gallery Section (updated department sites only)
The media gallery section can display a scrolling slideshow of images and videos. A grid based media gallery can be inserted instead by using the WordPress core 'Gallery' block.
Profiles Section (updated department sites only)
The Profiles Section block displays a group of people who have profiles created in the Profiles section of your site. This is described starting at 1:29 of the video below.
Staff (legacy sites only)
If you are using the built-in Staff section on legacy sites, you can display a list or grid of staff members using this block. Redesigned sites use the Profiles Section block instead.
Student Support Feature (updated department sites only)
This block is labelled 'BC Core Site Student Support Feature' in the editor, and is only available on sites using the redesigned department/division site theme. Note: a similar element is available on the core site, but it is configured differently.
Tabs (Accordion on Mobile) (updated department sites only)
This is a new version of the Tabs block, currently only available on redesigned department/division sites. It overcomes some of the mobile limitations of the Tabs block by converting to an 'Accordion' format when viewed on a mobile device.
Tabs (core site and legacy sites)
Allows you to insert a Tabbed Navigation block
Tab Section (updated department sites only)
Testimonial Section (updated department sites only)
