Magazine Blocks – Blog Designer, Magazine & Newspaper Website Builder, Page Builder with Posts Blocks, Post Grid

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 · 83% 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.

   I’m am happy to use Magazine Blocks in combination with theme MagazineX. It works fine and stable. And it gives many opportunities in lay-out of the website. The service from ThemeGrill Helpdesk is also very good. There was an WP-issue with the 1..3.9 update, so I mailed them. It was fixed within a day.

   Good plugin to use. I’ve got a little problem with the slider block not showing on my website. But overall a good plugin and excellent support.
