Editor Block Outline

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 · 88% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   Absolutely great plugin. You seem to have thought of everything. Makes Gutenberg/block editor actually usable. Should be part of wp core. Thanks for your great work 🙂

   I was never ready to make the jump to Gutenberg but I had to do it sooner or later. Coming from (leaving?) Elementor with it’s nice interface, it’s a brutal contrast and I have never understood why they made it so empty and counter-intuitive. Your plugin will make my transition much less painful so thanks for the great work! I have actually tried a few of these plugins but you really raised the bar and has some great extra features.

   Works great with latest version of WP 6.4.3. The only issue is that it disable a native function (from the browser of WordPress) that when you select multiple blocks they become highlighted. When that plugin is enable, you don’t see that anymore and it’s difficult to see which blocks are selected. So it’s a plugin that help to better see the limits of the blocks but makes you blind with other things… (I’m on Mac with Firefox).

   While testing the Editor Block Outline plugin, I came up with a feature I thought would be helpful to most anyone and likely not too difficult for the developer to add. I suggested the feature to the developer, and within a few days, it was added. Amazing! This topic was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by Tim in Seattle.

   This little gem of a plugin is really helpful, especially when working with layouts in the block editor. Installed it, found the settings in the block editor (top right) and fell in love. This will be installed on all my WP sites.
