Completing Our Block

What you’ll learn in this section

This section completes your block’s user experience by addressing two crucial elements: proper categorization and custom iconography. While these may seem minor, they significantly impact how users discover and recognize your blocks.

Block categories organize the inserter interface, helping users find relevant blocks quickly. Custom icons make your blocks immediately recognizable and professional-looking in the editor interface.

You’ll learn both the technical implementation and strategic decisions around categorization, plus the complete workflow for creating, sanitizing, and implementing SVG icons that follow WordPress best practices.
