Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

With BlockMeister creating custom block patterns becomes easy. The patterns can be designed just like you design a blog post or a page with the block editor.

You can assign any (custom) category or keywords. By doing so, your patterns are categorized in a way that makes sense to your users and keywords make it easier to find a pattern. Your custom patterns will be available from the block patterns tab in the inserter panel.

Features

  • Visual design custom block patterns using the pattern builder
  • Or create a custom pattern from one or more selected blocks in the post editor
  • Import patterns made/shared by trusted Pro users [new in 3.0]
  • Assign your patterns to one or more categories
  • Optionally add any keywords (makes them easy to find in the block inserter)
  • Create custom pattern categories
  • Set a viewport width to optimize the scaled width of the preview in the block inserter

Pro Features

If you would like even more features like: group locking, cloning, activating or deactivating individual patterns, exporting, importing, controlling which core/third party pattern sets are allowed to load, setting block styles and more, please check out our premium versions here:
