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

How it's measured →15%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 26.7K 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 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.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “4K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 2 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 5K.
At the current install trend, crossing 5K+ in roughly 1378 days.

Leggero, Veloce e Semplice da usare, sono le caratteristiche ideali che ogni plugin dovrebbe avere, ottimo lavoro!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ alpipego2.9y ago
This plugin adds a simple FAQ block to the editor and there are sufficient styling options. I think it could be further improved regarding accessibility, by adding a clickable and focusable element like a button. This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by alpipego. This topic was modified 2 years, 2 months ago by alpipego. Reason: The developer has addressed my initial complaints and the plugin is now efficiently enqueueing JS and CSS

Le plugin est très simple à installer et à utiliser. Une seule fonctionnalité et c’est celle que je recherchais. Merci
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ jordanmhk6.4y ago
This plugin used to work really well. However, recently the question part of the block is inaccessible when using the visual editor within Gutenberg. It’s no problem for me to use the HTML view in the editor to edit the question, but my client is having issues understanding that workaround, so I am faced with a decision to continue taking client complaints or switch plugins. I’ve added my voice to the support forum where others are having the same issue, but we have not received an update. If the developer could fix this one issue, it would be a perfect plugin.

It’s a good plugin and simple, but we just translated it into Russian, but for some reason the whole translation does not appear in the admin panel
