Biggest opportunity: Swap “free”, “gutenberg” and “block editor” for “blocks editor”, “custom blocks” and “wordpress blocks”. “free” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “blocks editor” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gutenberg” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “custom blocks” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “block editor” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “wordpress blocks” sits at #9 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 →1.9%
of downloads still active
At least 50K of 2.6M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,578 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 17 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “free”, “gutenberg” and “block editor” for “blocks editor”, “custom blocks” and “wordpress blocks”. “free” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “blocks editor” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gutenberg” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “custom blocks” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “block editor” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “wordpress blocks” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “block editor”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Ultimate Blocks has completely transformed how I build pages. It gives me all the essential tools I need without bloating my site. Highly recommended for anyone using the block editor! This topic was modified 1 month, 1 week ago by MIKE TEH YH. Reason: Text symbol error

I use the plugin mostly for the Tabbed Content block. When I found a bug, I posted on the forum, was contacted the same day, and within two days the bug was fixed in their next release (which happened within the two day period!). Very impressive!

Great Plugin!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ jduncan96mo ago
I’m guessing most WP Blocks users have a love/hate relationship with the process. But being somewhat of a “newbie,” Ultimate Blocks puts my relationship on the “love” side. Excellent plug-in. No heavy learning curve. Grab it and have some FUN with site building. This topic was modified 2 months, 2 weeks ago by jduncan9. Reason: Punctation

This is so easy, I am so grateful. I came from Joomla, and most things on WP seem difficult, but this makes my life simpler when working on my site. Thank you
