Block Control

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. 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.

   Ich habe stundenlang gesucht, gebastelt und bin verzweifelt – nur um einen Block aus- oder einzublenden. Unzählige Plugins getestet, Support-Seiten durchforstet, sogar die KI ist an mir verzweifelt. Dieses Plugin macht genau das, was ich brauche. Klare Empfehlung!

   Lovely helper plugin lets you select, if you need to be logged in to see a block in a post or page and whether it should be hidden on certain devices. Currently the plugin description may be a little vague (“it does what?”) but the plugin works right out of the box and may be for many a smart solution for a simple task. Well done, Matthias and Simon. 👏🏻

   I’ve used this plugins on two websites now. It works just great. The visibility option for different devices is very useful.
