    Hi,
    I can’t understand the difference between Inspector and Content controls.

    Any explanations?

    Hello,

    Inspector Controls are located in the sidebar panel under the Settings tab. They manage block configuration and advanced settings that don’t require direct content interaction.

    Content Controls are embedded within the block’s content area. They enable users to modify content inline without opening the sidebar.

    WordPress blocks typically use Inspector Controls for settings. Content Controls offer a more user-friendly experience by placing frequently-used features directly in the work area.

    For more information, visit:

    • Inspector control groups for InspectorControls documentation

    • Lazy Blocks Controls Documentation for a comprehensive guide on both control types

    Thank you.

    But I have a problem with inspector blocks.
    I can insert inspector blocks in the gutenberg editor. But after filling the fields in the sidebar, I’m unable to see the block in the gutenberg editor, so I’m unable to edit it. If I switch to code editor I can see it and un the front-end it works.

    It’s a strange thing.

    Hello,

    Please export the problematic block as a .json file and upload it here. I’ll import it to examine it in my system. For instructions on exporting blocks, visit: https://www.lazyblocks.com/docs/export-blocks/

    Regards,
    Alex
