Biggest opportunity: Swap “block editor” and “custom styles” for “device specific” and “breakpoints”. “block editor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “device specific” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom styles” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “breakpoints” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →7.5%
of downloads still active
At least 800 of 10.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,579 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks 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 6 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I often don’t want or need all of the additional blocks that other plugins offer, the provided Gutenberg blocks are usually enough. But, they are lacking some niceties for responsive design. This plugin brings those niceties and makes adjusting things SO MUCH BETTER. THANK YOU.

As i am trying to get the most out of the basic blocks, this plugin is very useful. A indicator icon on the setting modals where there are changed values and also on the device icons within would be big usability improvement. also small bug, i cannot overwrite the single column block width. would be quite usefull to controll it via the fixed width dimension. thanks Sheikh!

I want to stay native using Gutenberg blocks as much as possible to build my layouts. But G blocks lack responsive settings badly. Block Responsive takes care of the problem! Just exactly what I need. Big thank you to the author.

Absolutely fantastic and non-opinionated! I’ve been looking for a plugin to extend this functionality to core blocks without having to add all new blocks.
