Pattern Wrangler – Manage Block Patterns and Pattern Categories

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 · 69% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 500+ in roughly 144 days.

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Brilliant plugin! Is well maintained and has worked perfectly for over year now. You can export all block pattern from site to site, which is great for developers who need a set of starter patterns or wireframes to work from.

   This 2.0+ version of Pattern Wrangler is fantastic. I consider this a “must install” plugin for websites that heavily rely on Local and Synced Patterns. For years, I’ve use a collection of snippets to add features to the WordPress Pattern Library. This plugin essentially wraps all the features I’ve been adding via snippets into a nice package with a better user interface.

   This plugin is excellent when you build websites for clients. I was looking for something like this for a long long time. Great job!

   This is exactly what I was looking for. I was surprised to see that the WordPress importer does not allow you to export all of your patterns at once via a xml file. Having to export them in bulk and import them individually into a new site is not ideal. This plugin allows you to import one xml file and saves you a ton of time. The option to hide core patterns is another great feature as well. Thank you! This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by Mike Oliver.

   This plugin is a miracle. I’m migrating a site that had a lot of messed-up settings that I wasn’t able to remedy (pages called post etc) from the bad site to a new one I set up. But I’d already created most of the pages on the original site and was happy with them. How to get all that content across? While I was trying to figure this out, I received an email from the developer announcing the creation of this plugin. Oh my goodness! Create pattern from content on old site, export as JSON, import JSON to patterns on new site, add pattern to page, bam! Images and everything came across perfectly. What a timesaver. I’m a happy user of GBHacks as well, but this is next level.
