Biggest opportunity: Swap “blocks”, “gutenberg” and “templates” for “hero”, “reusable” and “typography”. “blocks” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hero” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gutenberg” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “reusable” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “templates” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “typography” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →2.9%
of downloads still active
At least 500K of 17M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,580 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 25 releases 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “blocks”, “gutenberg” and “templates” for “hero”, “reusable” and “typography”. “blocks” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hero” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gutenberg” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “reusable” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “templates” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “typography” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “layouts”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “patterns”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Documentation is bad. AI is limited. I’ve been doing WordPress for a decade and struggle with this thing. All the other high-five reviewers must be smoking weed.

I appreciate that this plugin offers light layouts that do not weigh down the page, I am looking forward to proposals using the new grid block
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Donna Fontenot3.5y ago
Not only does Extendify have a beautiful array of patterns and templates, but it goes a huge step further by not locking anyone in. If you use Extendify templates or patterns, and then decide to deactivate Extendify, you can choose to have all the CSS used for them to your site, so nothing breaks! Wow. That is next level and worthy of high praise.

This plugin needs a better icon. I have no idea what the current one is supposed to be. I created a better one and you can have it for free. Just let me know if you want it. No strings attached, no attribution necessary.

Patterns and templates are great, but they can be hard for some people to visualise. This library has a collection ready to go and boosts anyone. This means what you visually have in mind is easily within reach.

The future of WordPress is Gutenberg. There are no if, and, or buts about it. Leading that charge is Extendify. While WordPress gives you the tools to create that perfect website, Extendify will take it a step further, giving you a multitude of templates to design that site in a series of point-and-click interfaces. Your dream site is one plugin away from reality, and *this* plugin will get you there!
