Advanced Block Controls (ABC) — Core Blocks Page Builder and Full Site Editing Toolkit

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Reviewers like that it extends the core blocks instead of piling on new ones, and they call out the responsive visibility controls, the light inline CSS, and quick support from the Pro team.

   Thank you for this! I just tried the plugin. The controls for toggling the different design elements are fantastic. Some will eventually be added to Core, but some custom blocks still need them.

   Basic responsive controls (visibility per device) are missing from core blocks, which is probably the dumbest thing ever in this mobile-first world. This plugin effortlessly fixed this egregious oversight.

   I’m using the plugin in the Pro version, and I must admit, it’s one of the better choices I’ve made. It’s a tool like any other, and everyone uses it according to their needs. What truly sets ABC Pro apart is the support—it’s one of the best I’ve encountered, and trust me, I use quite a few plugins. They are focused on solving problems and respond incredibly quickly. Hats off to them! Additionally, the functionality provided in the Pro version is both robust and intuitive, making it a perfect fit for professionals and beginners alike. The development team clearly understands the user experience, ensuring the plugin integrates seamlessly with other tools. Their dedication to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction truly elevates ABC Pro above its competitors. Highly recommended!

   One of the reasons a block add-on is needed with default blocks is because the core blocks lack more than the basic settings. This plugin fixes that, and it is great. No need for an expensive blocks add-on anymore. The free version is more than enough, but the PRO version is even better. Also, many block add-ons load assets — CSS mainly — which can lead to compatibility issues. This plugin loads only the necessary CSS inline, which makes it easier to integrate with other builders such as Bricks. This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by Aguilar1181.

   Nice to finally see someone not building tons of blocks, but using the native blocks and adding features to them – This is a well plugin, and also it dosn’t harm the performance at all, which is perfect!
