Icon List Block – Add Icon-Based Lists with Custom Styles

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

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 · 75% 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 plugin uses React just to display a simple list of icons.

   This block does exactly what I want it to—a list with icons at the front instead of boring bullets. Unfortunately, it’s not using Font Awesome 6 yet, and it doesn’t appear that I can integrate it with the official FA plugin (so that I could use pro or v6 icons).

   The icon list block works fine and adds a useful functionality to Gutenberg. Big thumbs up to the developers for providing this! Lots of custom features and possibilities for configuration of style and behaviour. Regarding potential improvements: I find the handling of list items a bit complicated and wish they could be edited directly within Gutenberg, also allowing for stuff like formatting parts of list items in bold/italics, etc.

   I’ve tried alternatives – but nothing beats the simplicity of this plugin, ** especially ** now that it supports links 🔗 Nice!

   This was a great find. Can make nice lists with big text and icons, changing a lot of nice style options. The only thing I wish is that I could easily turn the icon/text into a link. If I had that option, it would be 5/5 as I’m looking for something to make a simple webpage for kids to know what to click on for a project list.
