How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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.

Reviewers call it a lightweight way to extend Gutenberg, with the block selection and ready-made presets doing most of the design work for them.

    I’m always looking for lightweight solutions that allow a lot of customization. This plugin has all the blocks you would ever need to create an amazing design, and the defaults leave very little work for you. Endless possibilities, intuitive presets. The scroll accordion block is my favorite!

Recent releases and news for this plugin

  1. 2026-08-26 Version 2.7.2 Fix: Advanced Heading — the typing effect no longer hides the last letter of each word. It also now types one character at a time, so short words no longer appear in twelve tiny slivers. Fix: Advanced Heading — the typin 2.7.2
  2. 2026-08-26 Version 2.7.1 Fix: The Chart block works again. On 2.7.0, inserting a Chart showed “Error loading block” instead of the chart — the block’s preview is drawn on the server, and the request that draws it was being rejected. Charts alrea 2.7.1
  3. 2026-08-25 Version 2.7.0 New: Chart — bar, line, and donut charts drawn as plain SVG, with a colour control per bar or slice. Type the data in by hand or read it from a post meta field. No charting library is loaded, and every chart also emits a 2.7.0
  4. 2026-08-11 Version 2.6.3 Fix: Grid columns with a minimum width set no longer run past the edge of the page. On a theme with a narrower content width, a grid asking for more columns than could fit at that minimum pushed its columns straight out 2.6.3
  5. 2026-08-05 Version 2.6.2 Fix: Sticky and overlay headers keep working on sites that replace page content without a full browser reload — an AI page builder or an AJAX-driven theme, for example. After one of those updates the header stayed where 2.6.2
  6. 2026-08-04 Version 2.6.1 Fix: Turning on “background on scroll” without choosing a color now gives you your theme’s background, rather than no background at all. The header also darkens or lightens its text to match, so it stays readable whichev 2.6.1
