How to Fix Spectra's Dynamic Content Not Showing or Working

Content

Many users of the Spectra Gutenberg Blocks plugin are excited about its Dynamic Content feature, which allows for integration with tools like Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and Custom Post Types. However, a common issue arises where this powerful feature doesn't appear or function as expected within the WordPress block editor.

This problem typically occurs because the Dynamic Content feature is part of the Spectra Pro beta, not the free core Spectra plugin. Users may see documentation and screenshots but find the functionality missing from their own installations.

How to Enable Spectra Dynamic Content

Based on community reports and solutions, here is the most effective method to resolve this issue:

  1. Download the Spectra Pro Beta: The Dynamic Content feature is currently available in the public beta version of Spectra Pro. You can download it directly from the official Spectra Pro page.
  2. Clean Installation is Key: If you already have a version of Spectra Pro installed but cannot see the Dynamic Content options, a simple reinstall often fixes the problem. First, completely uninstall your existing Spectra Pro plugin from the WordPress admin panel.
  3. Upload and Activate: Install the freshly downloaded Spectra Pro beta plugin by going to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin in your WordPress dashboard. Activate it after installation.
  4. Check the Block Editor: Once activated, edit a post or page. When you add a Spectra block (like the Info Box or Image block), you should now see the Dynamic Content options within the block's settings panel.

Following these steps has successfully enabled the feature for other users who were experiencing the same problem. The Spectra Gutenberg Blocks team has made this beta available to gather feedback and allow users to test advanced functionalities like Dynamic Content and the Loop Builder.

If the issue persists after a clean install, ensure your site's PHP configuration meets the requirements and try regenerating your permalinks by navigating to Settings > Permalinks and simply clicking "Save Changes."
