Do you want to make your WordPress site more visually appealing? Are you looking for a way to highlight important information or selling points? Adding feature boxes with icons can help you accomplish this goal. In this easy-to-follow guide, we will show you how to create feature boxes with icons on your WordPress site without the need for additional plugins.

Using the Standard Content Editor and Column Blocks

The simplest method for adding feature boxes with icons is by using the standard content editor and column blocks in WordPress. This method eliminates the need for installing new plugins and can be done quickly. Let’s get started:

1. Open the page where you want to add the feature box and click on the “+” icon to add a new block.
2. Type “Columns” in the search bar and select the column block from the available options.
3. Choose the column layout that best suits your preferences, such as a layout with three equal-width columns.
4. Now it’s time to add icons to the columns. You can use icon fonts, which are resizable symbols that won’t slow down your website. We recommend using Font Awesome, a free icon library with a wide selection of icons.
5. To add an icon, click on the “+” icon within the column block and search for the “Shortcode” block. Once added, enter the shortcode with the desired icon name (e.g., [icon name=”bus”]). You can find a comprehensive list of available icons in the Font Awesome icon library.
6. If you prefer using images, you can add an image block instead of the shortcode block. Click on the “+” icon within the column, select the “Image” block, and choose an image from the media library or upload a new one.
7. After adding icons or images, customize the feature box by adding text. Click on the “+” icon within the column block and add a paragraph block. Enter the desired text into the block. Repeat this process for the other columns to complete your feature box.
8. To create multiple rows, duplicate the columns block and add content to the new row following the same process.
9. Once you are satisfied with your feature box, update or publish the page to make it live on your website.

Using a Page Builder Plugin for Advanced Design

If you want more control over the design of your feature boxes, consider using a page builder plugin like SeedProd. SeedProd offers a user-friendly drag-and-drop editor and a variety of professionally-designed templates to choose from. Here’s how to use SeedProd to create feature boxes:

1. Install and activate the SeedProd plugin.
2. Go to “SeedProd” and enter your license key.
3. Next, go to “SeedProd” > “Landing Pages” and click on “Add New Landing Page.”
4. Choose a template that aligns with your goals, or opt for a blank template for more flexibility.
5. In the drag-and-drop editor, select a layout and add an icon block to the desired column. Personalize the icon by choosing from SeedProd’s library of icons.
6. Beneath the icon, add a text block and input the relevant information. Repeat this process for other columns and rows, if required. You can also duplicate rows to quickly create more feature boxes.
7. Once you are satisfied with the design, save the page and publish it to make it live on your WordPress site.
