Biggest opportunity: “block”, “block editor” and “gutenberg” 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.

3.8%

of downloads still active

At least 200 of 5.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,577 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.

This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    This could have been a 5 star plugin – easily ! Having preset values for paddings/margins is almost a deal breaker for me here. The author of the post/page should be the only one in authority to decide exactly how much spacing is needed for the blocks, as different sites/themes have different requirements. This plugin adds most of the necessary things to make Gutenberg a viable page builder, and (this plugin) comes very close in filling the missing items, but really, the site admin needs to make ALL the decisions for their own site. I would very gladly revise my rating to 5 stars, once I we get more options and freedoms with the block spacings. UPDATE: Sept 22, 2021: The new update fixes many things, and even though I wanted to be able to have custom padding/margin values, I think it’s only fair to change my rating from 4 stars to 5. I just wish more people would appreciate this plugin, so it would further be developed. Good job, and thanks again! This topic was modified 5 years, 9 months ago by nick6352683.
