Biggest opportunity: “block”, “block editor” and “blocks” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →2.5%
of downloads still active
At least 600 of 24K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.1.28, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

| block editor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| blocks your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS!! You’ll have a worthless plugin and you won’t be able to get your money back. The plugin doesn’t work at all, and none of my requests (via the website) for help or money back have been answered.

Is this plugin still being supported? The business model is antiquated for wordpress and there are today numerous similar block editors with designs that are far better. But, i like the designs here because they are simple. However it appears the plugin is deserted and if so, atleast bring down the cost. This block editor does not warrant $50/month.

Contrary what the developer states this plug-in is not 100% compatible and locks you in. The code you get when using the designs is not correct, so hopefully they will change this, because the idea of the templates is good. When you disable this plug-in the design changes, because blocks are used which are not supported by pure Gutenberg.(a single columns block is not allowed) With the new Grouping block which is coming soon this could be solved. Further me and others did not get any respond on support question for the last 6 months or more and there are no updates to the designs for months.. Premium version is advertised prominently, but BE CAUTIOUS purchasing! this is probably a deserted plug-in.

Easy to use design library, using standard blocks and fills them with predefined nice graphis and content.

The plugin makes me see the Gutenberg with different eyes. Looking forward to seeing more block designs.
