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

How it's measured →13%
of downloads still active
At least 6K of 44.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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 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.

I use these blocks together with kadence blocks. No need to use any other pagebuilder. Really happy to be free of anything like Elementor etc 🙂

Don’t hesitate to use any plugin by the WooFunnels team. They are super helpful and the products work fantastic!

A fantastic addition to the Woofunnels family, which I’ve been happily using for years. Awesome support too, which is SO important!!

If you are going with Gutenberg, which I highly suggest because you are not going to blow your WP like nine months, pregnant women, you should be using the sling plugin. Additionally, if you are in the e-commerce area and creating a funnel, I highly suggest you try the WooFunnel plugins. It has its own CRM and a lot of integration with features. You even cant have it with a click funnel… Long story short, take it:D
