Biggest opportunity: Add “breakpoints”, “components” and “container” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6, #10 and #17 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

How it's measured →4.8%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 207.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,577 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Add “breakpoints”, “components” and “container” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6, #10 and #17 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “blocks”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I finally found the right plugin. It works like a dream with ACF blocks – completely new possibilities. I hope it will continue to be maintained and updated for a long time to come. I would definitely be willing to pay for it if it were a commercial extension.

Great plugin, thank you!

This is an excellent plugin. All the pains of trying to solve web responsiveness with Gutenberg can thrown out of the window. Great compatibility with themes that already use Bootstrap for basic website structure. It took me a year of casual looking around before I found this gem. It needs to be seen mooooar!

This plugin is exactly what I wanted because I use Bootstrap to make grid and organise content on posts and pages. Fantastic, keep good work.

Very good plugin for providing container, row and column functionality for custom Bootstrap themes (my use-case). This is so much better than the default WordPress columns. Just what I was looking for. Thanks for the plugin. 🙂

And you have all the foundations you need for building quick, bespoke, and easy-to-manage websites for your clients. I’ll be using this for all my projects from now on. Using ACF Pro to build the custom blocks required, and using these very handy container/row blocks to place my custom ACF blocks inside of. Just perfect.
