Biggest opportunity: Swap “block”, “blocks” and “editor” for “block countries”, “image block” and “block ip”. “block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “block countries” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “blocks” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “image block” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “editor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “block ip” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 4K of 46.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,580 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 2 releases 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.

The slider is simple and does the job, though a few more customization options would be great.

Plugin works, but editing of images with text is very unintuitive, i would expect same pattern that built-in “Query Loop” block provides, when you have “Template” block inside main block, that you can edit.

It does what it says and it is doing it perfectly! Thank you!

I chose Image Slider Block because it offered the needed features and animation styles. Works well! Then I needed something added to the plugin. I reached out to Amin and the team, and voila! It was added in the next release. Great plugin, high responsive support. Highly recommended.

Very good plugin but need to solve this Alt tag issue “Image elements do not have [alt] attributes”. Please fix the issue ASAP

Your plugin was suggested when I tried to find a slider while in the editor. While I had a problem with the slider “not sliding” I noticed it was because default has “pause on hover” as default. In the process of not knowing the settings and looking for alternative sliders, I noticed how clunky the other top sliders were. Your slider works just like wp-gallery. Just the way it should work. I’m glad I noticed the setting to fix this “pause on hover”.. Great work!

Hey, the plugin works well. But missing some more features. I can only show 4 images , but i need to add more than 4. Or/and that i can add a second or more rows with images. Such like a image grid. Kind reagrds Olivia

I loved this! I tried dozens plugins before sticking with this one. Simple and intuitive. I need to display images caption so had to edit the code in order to display that, hope the next version come with the option.
