Block Pattern Builder

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   This is a clean and simple, but very helpful plugin to create your own block patterns. If it had the option to manage block pattern categories as well, I’d consider even a 5 star rating… 😉

   Thanks Justin!! This plugin is just what was needed. Makes it super easy to save a pattern (template) and just reuse over and over on new pages. Love it!

   The Block Pattern Builder allows me to quickly use blocks over and over again, which is really essential to create content quickly and consistently. The only issue I have right now is that the patterns in the bottom of my list of 13 patterns are not listed when I search for them in the Gutenberg editor. If I have two patterns with “h2” in their name, it only shows the to one, for example. Not sure what is causing that? I hope a future version allows to change the saved pattern and apply the changes site wide (structure and design, not the content obviously). That would make maintenance so much more efficient. But I think it’s a WordPress limitation at the moment, rather than a plugin limitation.

   Thanks Justin for creating such a useful nifty plugin. I does not seem perfect in the way of finding and inserting the patterns in posts, but I am sure you will solve that.

   I REALLY like this plugin, but it is conflicting with Gutenberg Plugin v9.1.1 When inserting Block > choosing Browse All > then selecting Patterns …… It gets an error The editor has encountered an unexpected error. Just respond that you got this …. then it goes back to 5 Stars! Thanks, looking forward to using. ————————————- Due to “Bianca (@bianca205)”, putting this to 5 Stars … I hope she will forward this to the right people.

   This plugin is so useful that I think it should be merged into the core. Block patterns are super nice for quickly reusing designs in the block editor, but by default you need to be a developer (or know your way around code) if you want to create your own patterns. Block Pattern Builder changes that and lets you easily save any of your existing designs as a pattern, which makes a lot more sense to me. Thanks, Justin!

   I just discovered this plugin by accident. And I’m glad I did. Makes it a breaze to build custom patterns and import and export them. Thanks Justin.
