Gutenify – Visual Site Builder Blocks & Site Templates

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 · 64% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   This theme looks good. But that is where the good stops. There is a severe security vulnerability in their software and it has not been patched in months, or perhaps years. When you try to contact their support via a webform on their support page. it “spins” forever and never actually submits the message. That is just poor coding and a web template company that does not care at all about the end user. Avoid this one at all costs. Here is the security report: wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/853b86ca-0231-4b1c-b1d2-b8c23dbdc3c5?source=plugin

   I’ve used the Gutenify Base theme for several years and love it – I’m really pleased with my site. In doing some UX improvements I had an issue. In the end it wasn’t to do with theme, but the support guys were really helpful and we got it sorted. I strongly recommend their plugin and themes.

   I have used many wordpress editors in my 8 years of web designing. Some were excellent, some were mediocre but this one is really bad. Bad on desktop, disgusting on mobile. It is obvious that they never use their competitors, it is worse than their worst competitors, I definitely do not recommend it. Can responsive settings be this bad? DISGRACE!

   I’ve been testing Gutenify Base for a project and it’s a very easy, intuitive and flexible theme, suitable for multiple projects. The customer care and support is a game-changer: friendly, fast and problem-solving approach.

   These days, it’s difficult to find real human beings behind the scenes to help and that is the case with the Gutenify support team. I am a professional photographer where I also manage my own website. I’m not an tech expert and sometimes I get stuck with all the technical stuff. I am always so grateful for all the help the Gutenify Support give me to resolve my issue. They are very clear with their communication and keep going until they have sorted the issue. Thank you!

   I was virtually intimidated by blocks when WordPress first introduced them but this plugin has remedied that situation and really simplified website design! And with their excellent customer service there’s no way I’ll ever go backwards – highly recommended

   Great themes to choose from, and prompt reply when dealing with an issue we had. Having more control over colours would be great. Currently using their Finance theme.
