What is a static block?

  1. A block that changes regularly

  2. A block that is edited and saved directly on the page and does not change unless edited

  3. A block that cannot be edited

  4. A block for dynamic content updates

The correct answer is: A block that is edited and saved directly on the page and does not change unless edited

A static block refers to a block of content in a WordPress page or post that remains unchanged unless manually edited by the user. This means that the content within the static block, such as text, images, or other media, will not automatically update or change over time. Instead, it serves as a fixed piece of information that retains its content until someone makes a conscious decision to edit and save it again. This characteristic of static blocks contrasts with dynamic content blocks, which can update automatically based on data sources or user interactions. By having static blocks, users can provide consistent information that they want to maintain without fluctuations.
