How To Use
How To Use Services Section
You can easily showcase your services with the Services Section block.
Add as many service items as you need, then set the title, description, and icon or image for each one. The layout and styling controls let you match the section to the rest of your site.
Add to the Page
You can find Services Section Block in the block library and add it to any section of your page. Services Section Pro gives you 8+ extra service blocks if you want a different layout.
The block arrives with a default design that you can edit right away.
Editor View
Select the block, and its settings open in the sidebar on the right.
Choose a Layout
You can choose from nine layouts: Default and Layout-1 through Layout-8. Pick the one that suits your site best. Keep in mind that some settings change when you switch to a different layout.
Choose Columns, Background & Spacing
You can set how many cards appear in a row, with separate values for desktop, tablet, and mobile. Column Gap and Row Gap control the space between the cards, while Background and Padding apply to the section as a whole.
Item Card Border, Radius & Shadow
You can round the card corners, add a border, and apply a shadow. Hover effects are available too, so the cards react when someone points at them.
Title & Description Typography
You can set the font size, text color, and hover color for the card title and description. Each one has its own settings for different screen sizes.
Links & Buttons
You can make the whole card, just its title, or the button clickable, and choose whether the link opens in the same tab or a new one.
Shortcode Usage
You can display a services section anywhere on your site with a shortcode.
Build the section once, then paste its shortcode into any page, post, or widget instead of rebuilding it each time.
Add New ShortCode
Go to the dashboard menu and click Add New Service.
The block editor opens, where you can build and style the section. When you are happy with it, click Save and copy the shortcode shown on the page.
Now go back to the dashboard menu.
Insert Shortcode & Preview
Paste the shortcode into any page, post, or widget area where you want the section to appear. Use the live preview to check how it looks before you publish.
Publish or save the page, then visit your site to see the result.
