Qubely – Advanced Gutenberg Blocks

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 6 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 89% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 3 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 8K.

   Seemed like a good idea to try this plugin at first, since the awesome Blocksy free theme recommended it at one time. But as you will eventually find out, the hard way, there are some real basic bugs having to do with updating/saving pages and the CSS gets broken, and is a pain in the *** to troubleshoot. And the icing on the cake is zero support from the dev on the support threads for their plugin. Looks like they didn’t make enough money from their premium paid version so basically just stopped working on the project. They keep releasing new versions, but at you’ll see, there are crickets a’chirping on the support here at wordpress.org. BTW – Blocksy theme switched over to recommending Stackable block manager plugin, which is vastly superior to Qubely. Use that or Spectra if you need a reliable block managers with ongoing support. And good luck trying to switch over from Qubely to another block manager… Qubely makes it really tricky to just switch blocks to other. locked rows, locked rows, locked rows…

   We paid for Qubely PRO and they shutdown the product without noticing paid customers and you can’t use it anymore as you can generate licence key and also as issue with last version of WordPress. I highly recommed to stay from any Themeum products.

   If you use WordPress 6.6+, this plugin doesn’t work anymore and there’s zero information if the developers will ever take care of that. None of the blocks are recognized by the system anymore. Therefore, you can only change them in the code editor or as an HTML block. At first I read the devs got caught up in the Internet shutdown in Bangladesh and that was the reason for their silence. Now the rumor is the company has given up on Qubely and Qubely Pro (which they are still selling on their website) without informing their customers. Contacting support resulted in a cryptic response. I decided to jump ship to a different plugin instead. In other words: Save yourself some time and look elsewhere.

   Unfortunately, yet another WordPress accordion plugin with no accessibility considerations…

   The plugin has pretty plugins that work well, most of the time. The Qubely tooltip, for instance, only works if there is a Qubely accordion on the same page (It does work in page builder editor but not once published). The accordion itself works better now but like in the past, sometimes doesn’t let me delete another accordion panel (default = 2) or doesn’t let me change the setting ‘Open First Item’.

   This can be a huge hit in WP plugins directory. It is a great plugin but giving 5 stars because this plugin is missing basic functionality like adding custom fonts, custom shape separator for sections etc. I understand that plugin is in development phase. At least plugin developer should write provide a clear documentation for developers with a list of available hooks/filters but unfortunately they have not written any documentation yet. From this, it seems that their motive of providing this plugin free here is to lure users to buy premium version and support.
