Message

Message control lets you add helpful text and instructions between other controls in your block settings.

Message Control

Control Settings

  • Message (message_text) - the text to display in block settings. Empty by default
  • New Lines (message_new_lines) - how line breaks in that text are rendered:
    • Automatically add paragraphs runs the text through wpautop, and is the default
    • Automatically add <br> runs it through nl2br
    • No formatting prints the text as it was typed

Message is a layout control used only in the block editor and doesn't output any value in your block's content.
