Resi V2: How to Create a New Content Block

How to create a brand new content block in Resi V2 — the first step before adding a new section to any property website.

Before You Start

Applies to: Resi V2 only.
Note: Creating a content block in Resi is only step one. To display it on the website, you also need to connect it in the YOOtheme Builder. See How to Connect a Content Block to the Website Builder (V2) →.


Step-by-Step: Create a Property-Specific Content Block

  1. Navigate to your property → Content → Content Blocks.
  2. Click Add New Content Block.
  3. Enter a name following the naming convention: page/section-name

    ⚠️ Consistent naming is critical for managing content across a large portfolio. Always follow an organized Page | Section pattern.

  4. Fill in the content fields relevant to this block (title, body text, CTA link, image, etc.).

    💡 You don't have to fill in everything — only enable the fields you intend to display on the website.

  5. Toggle the block to Enabled.
  6. Click Create.


Step-by-Step: Create a Global Content Block

If this block will be used across multiple properties:

  1. Go to Global Content → Content Blocks.
  2. Click Add New Content Block.
  3. Follow steps 3–6 above.
  4. Scroll to the bottom and assign it to all relevant properties.
  5. Save.

💡 It's often easier to create the block at the property level first, test it, then promote it to global by attaching additional properties — rather than going global from the start.


What Comes Next

Once created, your block exists in Resi but isn't visible on the website yet. You need to:

  1. Refresh the website's data (via Clear Website Cache or the WordPress Resi Settings → Refresh Property Data)
  2. Open the YOOtheme Builder and map the block to a section on the page (advanced access users).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not following the naming convention — unclear names like "New Block 3" become impossible to manage at scale. Always use page/section-name.
  • Enabling every field — only enable fields you're actually using. Leaving empty optional fields enabled can cause blank spaces on the website.
  • Forgetting the second step — a block created in Resi won't appear on the website until it's connected in the Builder.


Troubleshooting

Problem

Solution

I created the block but it's not in the Builder's content block dropdown

Refresh the site data first: go to the property → Clear Website Cache, or in WordPress go to Resi Settings → Refresh Property Data. Wait ~60 seconds.

The block name doesn't match the convention

You can rename it — click into the block and update the internal title field.
