Works as it’s supposed to; functional
by Will Skora·3 years ago
It works as it said it’s supposed to with no upselling, obtrusive ads.
Has a clear interface.
No further updates and error prone
by skylabb·3 years ago
This plugin is not getting updates in a year. It also causes the Gutenberg editor to crash. Avoid.
Excellent plugin
by syhussaini·4 years ago
The plugin made it super simple to disable some of the blocks that I wanted to be kept away from the general editors to avoid confusion.
WOW, it just needed a click and done.
Thank you for this amazing work!
