Biggest opportunity: Swap “landing page” for “drag drop”. “landing page” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “drag drop” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

0.7%

of downloads still active

At least 100K of 13.7M lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,272 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 12 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    I’ve been using beaver builder for a few years. I’m always impressed with their support super fast, helpful and kind.

    We chose Beaver Builder for our agency because new people coming in can start working with it right away, while it has all the flexibility needed for experts to make things work. It’s very easy to create pages in, but doesn’t block your creativity as programmer: we can do anything in it. The team is friendly and, important these days, human. We and many other EU based companies are very busy removing American products from their dependencies, especially those that store company or client data (which Beaver Builder does not). But even though they are USA based we wouldn’t want to let go of them, because their support feels so close to home. We would ask them to move to Europe though.

    After five years, my single page views created with Beaver Themer stopped working. Support was able to solve the problem within three hours of submitting a ticket. They flushed the permalinks and that worked. Thank you.

    The thing I like most about Beaver builder is that it works, always. In 8 years I never needed to rollback to older versions after doing an update because websites were broken. As a big plus there’s great helpfull facebook community and the supportteam is fast.

    I was having trouble embedding a video on a homepage built with Beaver Builder, but the BB-crew helped me out multiple times until we found the solution. Thanks a bunch!

    Recently got an email from WP saying “Some themes have automatically updated to their latest versions on your site. No further action is needed on your part. These themes are now up to date: Beaver Builder Theme (from version 1.7.10 to 1.7.18.1)”. However, it seems the update messed up the header on my site and I had to contact the BB support team for help. I have to say it was a wonderful experience! Not only did the team (Ben Carlo specifically) responded almost immediately; but they were able to identify the problem and resolve it within minutes. Kudos to Beaver Builder for having such a committed, smart team to support their suite of products! PS: It seems the issue was that WP updated the Beaver Themer plugin to its latest version but not the Beaver Builder plugin. PS2: Note to the BB developers… perhaps there is a way for a plugin update process to check if there are related plugins that also need to be updated. After all, all the tools may work in sync.

    Another reviewer stated that “There is no built-in option to hide or show specific blocks on mobile or tablet.” That is a lie. Those features and more are available. The documentation is extensive and support is top tier with a fast turnaround. Also, the Facebook group is a great resource. I use the bb plugin, the bb theme, and bb themer together for full ultimate flexibility for about 5 years now. To get additional modules, I have purchased UUAB and PowerPack. I would say that is the only negative I have about BB. I wish it had more modules.
