Custom Block Patterns

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.

   I’m a great fan of plugins which without bells and whistles simply do, what you expect and this plugin certainly is one of them. It allows you easily to create your own block patterns and use them as you like. The plugin is lean and the code clean. So far 5 stars. So, why did I only rate it 4 stars? I like to read the code of plugins, that I want to use on my client’s websites. All functions do have a single line comment, but unfortunately in Japanese, which makes it difficult to read (i.e. I have to use a translation programm to understand the comments). The plugin also doesn’t seem to follow WordPress’ coding standards, e.g. by using short array syntax and inline control structures. Personally, I would have liked it better if the Custom Post Type Block Patterns menu was a submenu of Appearance. A remaining comment // 'menu_position' => 6 looks like the plugin author had some other position in mind, too. Don’t let these nitpicky comments fool you – the plugin does what it’s supposed to and it can be used without hesitation despite these really minor flaws. Thanks for sharing the plugin.

   A very easy to use and not bloated pluging. Very small footprint. I used to use Blockmeister but they bloated it for commercial use. Now I use this one and it does everything you should ever need.

   ブロックパターンを再利用ブロックみたいに自分で作れたらいいのになあと思っていたところ、Twitterでこのプラグインを知りました。 まさに私の理想の形でブロックパターンを管理できるようになり、感動です。
