How do I make a block pushable in all 4 directions

when my player_block collides with push_block I want the push_block to move in the direction player_block is moving

if your player_block is actually moving (not just running an animation):

// collision with player_block
    x += player_block.x - player_block.xprevious;
    y += player_block.y - player_block.yprevious;

Nope this push_block is not moving nor does it have an animation
it is a static block I want it to move with the player_block if the player is pushing into it

sorry, when I asked about the push_block, I meant the player_block.
I've fixed the code to be correct and should work for the situation.

thanks your code didnt work but I changed the player_block.x and player_block.y to push_block.x and push_block.y and now it works perfectly

But if only it moved smoothly and not like in a jolty motion

if your push/player block uses vspeeds and hspeeds to move around, this code makes it a little more smooth.

// step event of push_block
if (place_meeting(x,y,obj_push)) {
    hspeed = obj_push.hspeed;
    vspeed = obj_push.vspeed;
} else {
    speed *= 0.9;
    if (speed < 1) {
        speed = 0;
    }
}

(The push_block and player_blocks may need to be switched around)
