How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

Smart Blocks is a very useful plugin, but I’ve encountered an issue in versions 2.5 and 2.6. After updating, the WordPress media uploader no longer opens when selecting an image inside the editor. The button becomes unresponsive and the media modal does not load. Rolling back to version 2.4 immediately restores normal behavior. I confirmed the issue by deactivating other plugins and testing different editors (Elementor and the default editor). The conflict only appears when Smart Blocks is updated beyond 2.4.My environment: Viral Mag theme, Elementor, LiteSpeed server, PHP 8.0.30. I wanted to share this in case it helps with debugging. The plugin is valuable and I hope future updates can address this compatibility issue. Thank you for your work. ——————————————————————— Updated Review (v2.7):I updated to version 2.7, and the media uploader issue has been fully resolved. Everything is working normally again.Thank you to the development team for the quick fix and attentive support. This topic was modified 7 months, 2 weeks ago by dervn.
