Blocks to Shortcode – Use blocks everywhere: in page templates, Elementor, etc.

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 · 69% 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 600+ in roughly 68 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 found the plugin very useful for those who want to start using blocks and can’t change the theme.

   I like to use an encoder to hide forms from bots. Now, thanks to this fine plugin, I can put Gutenberg blocks in a Shrotcode and then put it in the encoder. Note:It also works to put several blocks in a shortcode and display them using user roles. Therefore, only one shortcode is needed to display different content for registered users / public. Ingenious!

   Very rarely leave reviews, but this plugin deserves to be well known. Some might wonder what is the use case for a Gutenberg shortcode? Sometimes a commercial plugin will come with some nice Gutenberg blocks but not blocks or modules for the page builder you are using, but most all are able to use shortcodes. Very nice.

   You can create an entire page or just a single block and it will generate a shortcode that you can use anywhere to display the block contents.
