Block Enhancements – Extended styling for the Block Editor

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.

At the current install trend, crossing 900+ in roughly 80 days.

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.

   I’ve been playing with this plugin and it doesn’t seem to work consistently across all breakpoints. Sometimes a setting applied on mobile also applies on desktop. Sometimes the setting has no effect at all regardless of the breakpoint being set. Custom styling breakpoint is the only thing holding me back from going all in with WordPress.

   Update:After my initial review, later versions of the plugin offers pretty much what I hope for but lacking in Gutenberg blocks – responsive dimensions settings, positioning, and many others. I believe that if you can extend the capabilities of native Gutenberg blocks, you don’t really other third party page builder plugins that add 80 more blocks you don’t use with code bloat in your WP editor. Also just as awesome is the feature management screen where you can granularly assign certain features to certain blocks to optimize for only what you need. Perfect! Five stars! Thanks for the great work, Phi. – This plugin is a great idea and I really want to like it. However, it leaves a few things out much to be desired. Gutenberg blocks lack responsive features severely. I was hoping this plugin can fill in the big gaps but it doesn’t. I’m not seeing anything from this plugin for setting dimensions for various screen sizes. Under typography, it doesn’t offer any more that Gutenberg native settings. There’s Responsive Text Alignment feature but I’m not seeing any settings in block control panel. Other features Block Enhancements offers, shadow, transform, transitions, position are more advanced features you don’t really need that often. This topic was modified 10 months ago by Skylabb.

   I’ve followed this plugin for a while and have long thought it was a great idea. It’s also executed perfectly! It has sensible default options set, but I love that it gives you control over which blocks get the enhancements. With even more power and flexibility in core blocks now, this plugin is even more useful today. Without making this plugin too bloated, maybe the one nice thing to add would be the ability to “stretch” your links so the entire block is clickable. This is really needed for Group, Cover, and similar blocks and unfortunately this feature is still missing from these core blocks.

   This plugin extends Gutenberg blocks in the most organic way! No bloatware, no heavy dependencies, just adds the missing features to the existing Gutenberg blocks using the existing UI. One of my favorite Gutenberg plugins to date!

   Great plugin. I request you to remove the presets, they are not useful and good looking.

   Only compatible with FSE themes. This should be noted in the plugin’s description.
