    I am trying to create a theme that uses Genesis custom blocks. I want to be able to register a few blocks programmatically when the theme is installed.

    The documentation (https://developer.wpengine.com/genesis-custom-blocks/) says that when you want to add a block programmatically you need to use the add_block function from the Genesis namespace

    use function Genesis\CustomBlocks\add_block;
    add_block( $block_name, $block_config );
    I did this and nothing is registered.

    I have put the add_block function in my theme directory under /blocks/block-test.php.

    I cannot figure out why it is not registering.

    Have you added the blocks/blocks-test.php file and path to functions.php ?

    Similar to below

    require_once get_stylesheet_directory() . '/blocks/block-test.php';
