I have just built a custom plugin with several blocks. It is super intuitive when editing in Wordpress base. But it turns out my client is using elementor to build out their site. I was wondering if there is an easy way to use the Wordpress core blocks (and my custom) with elementor.
I know I can turn the blocks into shortcodes, but that would push me past my deadline. I also have looked into the 'blocks' built into elementor and they don't seem like the solution. Please help.
I have also tried going into their site and using the base editor to add the block, but this forces everything into a column on the side of the site.

Reset to default 0I had the same problem months ago but there is not an other way. You should integrate your blocks into Elementor, creating a custom Elementor widget for your blocks or you can just use the Custom HTML widget temporarily to show your blocks but you need to make sure it aligns with how the block is styled in the front-end, it may not show properly. Or You could embed Gutenberg blocks directly, depending on the exact setup of your site.
