Axiom Blocks is distributed as two plugins: the free version available from the WordPress.org plugin directory, and the Pro extension you download from your wpaxiom account. Both install as standard WordPress plugins. This guide covers installing both.

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.4 or newer
  • PHP 7.4 or newer (PHP 8.1+ recommended)
  • A theme with block editor support

Install the free version

From the WordPress admin

  1. Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin
  2. Search for Axiom Blocks
  3. Click Install Now on the entry by wpaxiom, then Activate
  4. Open any post or page — the blocks appear under the Axiom Blocks category in the inserter

Manual upload

  1. Download the latest ZIP from wordpress.org/plugins/axiom-blocks
  2. Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin
  3. Choose the ZIP and click Install Now
  4. Click Activate Plugin

WP-CLI

// terminalbash
wp plugin install axiom-blocks --activate

Install the Pro extension

Pro is a companion plugin — install it alongside the free version, not instead of it.

  1. Sign in at wpaxiom.com/account
  2. Go to the Licenses tab and find your Axiom Blocks Pro license
  3. Click Download .zip
  4. In WP admin go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin
  5. Upload the ZIP and click Activate Plugin

Once both plugins are active, continue to Activating your license to connect your license key.
