Custom WordPress blocks that work with any theme.

Description
-----------

[](#description)

Aludra is a WordPress plugin that provides custom Gutenberg blocks. It is a theme-neutral shared block library used across the Imagewize block themes — **Elayne** and the **Aviendha** e-commerce theme — but **the blocks work with any WordPress theme**: FSE (Full Site Editing) themes, block themes, or classic themes. (Many blocks were originally ported from the **Nynaeve** theme's native block library, but Nynaeve itself doesn't install Aludra.)

This plugin was created to align with WordPress.org Theme Review requirements, which prohibit custom block registration in themes. The blocks are theme-agnostic and can be used in any WordPress site.

> **Lineage:** Aludra is the direct continuation of the [**Elayne Blocks**](https://github.com/imagewize/elayne-blocks) plugin (versions ≤ 2.7.1). It was renamed to a builder-themed name (Aludra — the inventor/engineer of the *dragons* in *The Wheel of Time*) and generalised into a shared library, since it now serves multiple themes rather than Elayne alone. See `CHANGELOG.md` for the migration notes.

[](#credits)

- Based on blocks originally developed for the Imagewize block themes
- Feature Cards, Icon Grid, Trust Bar, Pricing Tiers, Testimonial Grid, CTA Columns, Feature List Grid, Contact Section, Hero Banner, About Section, Services Block, Review Profiles, CTA Banner, Service Intro, and Service Detail Cards blocks ported from the **Nynaeve** theme and generalised for theme neutrality
- Logo: [Lucide flower](https://blade-ui-kit.com/blade-icons/lucide-flower) icon via [Blade UI Kit](https://github.com/driesvints/blade-icons) (MIT License), drawn in a flat ember orange that holds up on both light and dark backgrounds. The earlier Forkawesome sun mark and the original "nightflower" mark — a nod to the fireworks ("Nightflowers") made by the Guild of Illuminators in *The Wheel of Time*, Aludra's namesake — remain in `assets/logos/` as alternates.
- Homepage pattern "Our Clients" carousel: the bike and noodle-bowl icons are [Tabler](https://blade-ui-kit.com/blade-icons/tabler-bike) and [Maki](https://blade-ui-kit.com/blade-icons/maki-restaurant-noodle) icons via [Blade UI Kit](https://blade-ui-kit.com/blade-icons) (MIT License). The five client-site mockups themselves live in `assets/clients/`.
- Mega Menu block originally inspired by [Human Made's HM Mega Menu Block](https://github.com/humanmade/hm-mega-menu-block) and substantially enhanced with multiple layout modes, advanced positioning, focus management, and accessibility features
- Carousel block originally inspired by the [Carousel Block Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/carousel-block/) by Virgiliu Diaconu, but completely reimplemented using Slick Carousel with a different feature set, extensive customization options, and distinct functionality
- Built with `@wordpress/scripts`
- Uses [Slick Carousel](https://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/) library for carousel functionality
