Attributes for Blocks

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

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Thank you so much for creating this plugin! It adds a level of versatility to the block editor that WordPress really needed. Being able to easily add custom attributes — like data-*, aria-*, or other HTML attributes — makes it incredibly useful for developers and site builders alike. It works exactly as expected, saves tons of time, and feels lightweight and reliable. Perfect for anyone who wants finer control over blocks without having to write extra code or rely on complex workarounds. Huge thanks to the authors for keeping it simple, powerful, and developer-friendly — I truly hope this continues to be maintained for future WordPress versions. Highly recommended!

   This adds considerable versatility to the WordPress blocks editor — I wanted to use Bootstrap in my current custom theme, but didn’t want to integrate Bootstrap fully, only using it within blocks when needed. Things like the dark mode (data-bs-theme="dark") can be added in, you can use onClick to utilize JavaScript (I used that to click open Bootstrap cards, etc), and really much more. Saved me a lot of time having to do things in a much more manual way. Highly recommend this plugin, works great.
