Oh yeah, and Ollie AI is imminent. Your agent is going to love working with Ollie.
Built on WordPressβs emerging AI infrastructure so it works natively with the platform and grows more powerful with every WordPress release.
We just relaunched olliewp.com with a small brand refresh and a refocus on where we're going. π¨
Ollie has been in constant evolution since its inception, and now we're boldly moving into the next era and bringing everyone with us.
These are just two of the many extensions we've packed into Ollie Pro β all designed to make the block editor work the way you actually want it to.
Less friction, faster builds, better results. Head to olliewp.com/pro to get started.
Good typography is all about the details. The new Text Wrap extension gives you a few new options to balance your typography so it displays beautifully on your pages.

Turn any Cover block or Button into a click-to-play video overlay. Add videos from YouTube or your video library and dial them in with settings for autoplay, timestamps, and more.

Ollie Pro extensions make store building even more powerful. Animation Designer, Class Manager, Advanced Grid Controls β each one supercharges your existing blocks without replacing your workflow. They're that good.
We also added a dedicated pattern collection for WooCommerce in Ollie Pro β featured product blocks, promo banners, video cards with overlay support, and more. Drop in, customize, ship.
The Product Collection block handles everything from your main shop grid to featured products and carousels. Choose your card design, add hover effects, and drop it anywhere on your site.
WooCommerce templates in Ollie are built entirely with blocks, so you have full design control right inside the editor. Swap patterns, resize elements, change layouts β no code, no page builder.
The Setup Wizard walks you through plugins, pages, branding, and colors in minutes. Starter Sites take it even further β one click and your entire store is set up automatically. Zero to full site, fast.
We didn't just slap some styles on this thing, we created a whole experience to make this the best solution for using WooCommerce in the WordPress site editor.
Check out the highlights in our latest YouTube video:
