ShelfBuilder Lite is a Gutenberg block plugin that lets you create curated, hand-picked grids with full drag-and-drop ordering. Unlike query-based blocks that automatically pull content, ShelfBuilder gives you complete control over which items appear and in what order.
How it works:
- Add the ShelfBuilder block to any page or post
- Choose a content type (Posts, Pages, or custom post types)
- Pick specific items from a searchable, scrollable list
- Drag and drop to arrange them in your preferred order
- Customize the grid layout with sidebar controls
Features:
- Drag-and-drop grid ordering with visual gap indicators
- Searchable item picker with tag filtering
- Customizable columns (1-6), gap spacing, and card max width
- Image aspect ratio options (square, landscape, wide, portrait)
- Text alignment controls (left, center, right)
- Grid padding for centered layouts
- Responsive design (2 columns on tablet, 1 on mobile)
- Lightweight — no jQuery dependency, minimal CSS, zero frontend JavaScript

ShelfBuilder Pro adds WooCommerce products, product categories, product tags, pricing display, item counts, add-to-cart buttons, hierarchical category browsing, and product tag filtering — all for a one-time $1 purchase.
