Biggest opportunity: “block”, “block enabled” and “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 100 of 5.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,579 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| block your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| block enabled your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| blocks your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| custom post type your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| editor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Justo lo que necesitaba y llevaba tiempo buscando en otros bloques. Al instalarlo no reconocía mi CPT, porque entre los atributos del mismo no había puesto: ‘show_in_rest’=> true. Después de modificar mi CPT con este atributo se quedó perfecto, lo menciono por si a alguien le pasa lo mismo que a mi. Muchas gracias a los desarrolladores por esta nueva aportación.

Lo mejor de este plugin es que una funcionalidad tan básica como listar nuestros CPTs en lista o rejilla y que no incorpora de serie Gutenberg, la implemente de una forma limpia, eficiente y con las suficientes opciones para que este plugin pase a ser uno de mis imprescindibles en mis instalaciones de WordPress. Que además esté desarrollado por dos prominentes miembros de la comunidad, es para mi mi una excelente garantía de compatibilidad, mantenimiento y soporte.

Es un plugin muy sencillo, pero que viene genial cuando quieres mostrar entradas de CPT. Todas las soluciones que encontraba tenían algún problema y este plugin, pese a faltarle aun mejoras, lo hace todo bien! Y el soporte de 10, les notifiqué un pequeño error y tardaron nada en identificarlo y solucionarlo.

This plugin is just perfect. I have a few Custom Post Types that I cannot add them to an archive page without learn some PHP. Thanks to this plugin we can display a list of CPT entries and customize as follows. 1. The Custom Post Type. 2. Number of posts. 3. Display/hide the featured image. 4. Choose the title HTML markup (H2, H3 or H4). 5. Customize the “read more” text. Without ONE line of code. I cannot be more thankfully!

Funciona perfectamente aunque no utilices un tema de OsomPress, te permite hacer un listado de cualquier post type y personalizar el nivel de encabezado para tener una buena jerarquía encabezados
