Biggest opportunity: “block plugin”, “grid layout” and “gutenberg blocks” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 38.9K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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.

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.

I purchased Guten Post Layout Pro. I never got a email with the authorization code. Emailed the company no response, the phone number is disconnected. WordPress should take down their plugin!

Just awesome! I’m almost happy that not all the world knows about this plugin, so not everybody has this great plugin that i have:) It’s the best i tried, instantly fell in love. Thx so much for this awesome free post plugin!

We’re using the Pro version of the Guten Post Layout plugin. This plugin is really the best out there! It’s extremely intuitive. We’ve tried many other plugins, the majority with shortcodes which we didn’t want. The big pro’s of this plugin is integration with blocks and the gorgeous look and feel. Due to our conflicting theme, we’ve had extensive contact with the support team of GutenDev. The support was beyond professional, so very knowledgable and quick. We really can’t thank them enough for their support and time in helping with our issues, even though it wasn’t caused by their plugin but our own theme.

“Gutendev’s plugin, Guten Post Layout is just superb. It helped me create a professional WordPress blog layout which would have been impossible with basic WordPress settings. I really love the fact that they provide 3 different modules like grid, masonry, and slider in one plugin. I would highly recommend their product if you want a great layout for your website!”

I really don’t mind getting a limited free version and need to pay for a complete version, but the video shows a lot of possibilities and said that it is totally free in the end, and it is not true. It could be better if this message is on the video. This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by emanueltavares. This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by emanueltavares.
