Wicked Block Builder

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   This is just an awesome plugin if you want to create blocks. I’m a plugin author seeking to migrate the widgets in my plugin to blocks. I spent nearly a week buried in the WordPress block developer handbook and zero progress. One hour with this plugin and I’d emulated my first widget. I bought the pro version and exported the block to a plugin, and cut that back into my existing plugin – 5 minutes work Now my plugin has a fully block compliant widget The support is amazing also – rapid response to my queries 5 more widgets to do, but no problem, WBB will handle what I want to do

   In 15 minutes, I have all the settings and rendering of a Dynamic Block that I had previously struggled over 10 hours to custom code from scratch. Absolutely worthwhile!

   Exactly what I wanted in a custom block builder plugin. Incredibly simple UI and easy-to-use tutorials on YouTube helped me get started real quick. As a developer and Block Editor fanatic, I believe that this is a gamechanger.

   Developers rejoice! This is a game changer! Wicked Block Builder has finally made building a bespoke / custom design site for your clients a viable option with the Block Editor! Before this plugin it was very challenging to build truly custom designs with the Block Editor because creating custom blocks was a tedious and time consuming process. I could easily have 5 to 10 custom blocks for a small-medium size business website, and if you had to do that with creating a unique React powered block each time there was no way it would be affordable for you or your client. But with Wicked Block Builder you can whip together complex and powerful blocks on the fly. This topic was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by onetrev.
