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

0.4%

of downloads still active

At least 100 of 24.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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 activated it and photos in my blog suddenly disappeared. I tested many plugins but this plugin did it. Don’t use it until it updates again about it. This topic was modified 6 years, 9 months ago by kingpin123.

    This plugin is very easy to use, and allows me to create stock calls to action for my posts (Patreon and Ko-Fi links, that sort of thing), along with some reasonable formatting. I haven’t particularly done anything complicated with the software yet, so we’ll see how things go when if I end up doing something more involved later. I may revisit this review at that time.

    I installed Easy Blocks because I needed a way to get subtitles working, without using the standard title blocks. After some time searching for a plugin that could do the work and would not fail with Gutenberg, I came over Easy Blocks, and it looked “good enough” to do the job. Trying it, yes, it does what it promises. However, I stumbled over two minor “problems” along the way. For one I had a workaround, but an official solution would have been nice, for the other well I could have lived with it. Anyway, I figured to contact the support via the chat function on the website. Within minutes I had someone to chat with, who promised to look into it, and within two hours I had an email with the solutions for my problems (one will be fixed with a new block being released potentially next week). So thumbs up for this plugin/Gutenberg extension and the team around it!
