Thanks for making writing so much easier with a great plugin to manage my blocks and patterns. Forgot how good it was until I did a new site without it!
This plugin adds practical functions to template management that should actually be available directly in WordPress. The overview of where each template has been used is worth its weight in gold.
Hey everybody that wrote to this forum and complained about something not working with this free plugin:
You can get the Gutenberg Block as a Shortcode function by using WP Code Pro. It works great and is highly supported. But the price is USD$100/yr for a single website, or $250/yr for 25 sites (prices upon yearly renewal).
The whole reason I found this plugin is that WP Code Pro is expensive, and there is no LTD.
After a fairly thorough search, I have found zero other options besides these two plugins: one home-made and one commercial. So if you don’t want to pay the premium price for the commercial plugin, then there’s no point complaining about the homemade one.
Previously a 5 star review, the last year problems creeping in and it’s obvious to me that the developer refuses to participate in this support forum. Kick them out of the respository until they are responsive.
Note to developer, previously would have happily purchased a pro version of this plugin (which you don’t seem to offer) in order to support you and get access to support.
simple and usefull. I’m using it in every website
