Block Slider – Responsive Image Slider, Video Slider & Post Slider

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 · 92% 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.

   Stay away. It’s a paid for feature to have an image in your image slider. What a waste of time

   I’ve been testing other slider plugins for Gutenberg and this is the one that has worked best. Thanks.

   You can’t create a slider and add a block to it. Which by the name you’d assume you can do. What even is this plugin? It doesn’t do anything.

   My company paid for the $99/yr pro version of WP Block Slider about a month ago. We never received a confirmation email. There is no account that has been created for my company. We can’t even log in. I’ve emailed them for support twice through the website with no response. It’s not just like stealing, it is stealing. This feels like a scam. Buyer beware.

   Plugin basics is good but very limited, and when you are going to PRO, no answer via email, support… Don’t go to PRO. This topic was modified 2 years, 2 months ago by Joffrey Nicoloff. This topic was modified 2 years, 2 months ago by Joffrey Nicoloff.

   I was a little annoyed that I had to go to a separate interface to edit my sliders, but ok put an annoying menu item up super high I guess. Then I realized that none of my styles were carrying through to the page. As a hack I had to copy paste the block used in the slider and hide it on the page just so the CSS would load. Then it turns out it wasn’t responsive, no matter how many CSS hacks I tried I couldn’t get a two column layout to stack. Simple stuff that Gutenslider does inline on the page without issue.

   The free plug descripiton here is highly misleading. It promotes all the pro features as if they are included. They are not. I like that the UI and the way you add sliders/slides is easy but the misleading nature of the description makes me want to use something else.
