ぽんひろさんのデザインがブロックで使えて感動です

ぽんひろさんのデザインがとても好きで、いつもカスタマイズの参考にさせていただいています。 いつもコードをコピペして使っていたカスタマイズがブロックエディターで簡単に使えるようになってとても嬉しいです！ ブロックの数もこれから増えるということでとても期待しています！

Realy great and siple plugin for Gutenberg

Realy great and siple plugin, by the way I don’t know why it’s so low in the repository. This plugin is only for Gutenberg and does not work with “Pods” plugin, with “CPT UI” is work great.

Great plug in! One thing though, language Swe?

I could help with the translation to a swedish version although I’m not a developer I enjoy this plugin very much and would be glad to help improve it’s usability not the least for my own sake. ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜
