Best Block Editor WordPress Plugins
8 plugins · 14.0M combined installs · 4.8/5 avg rating
Block editor plugins extend the native WordPress Gutenberg editor with additional blocks, patterns, templates, and UI enhancements that go beyond what core provides. They add blocks for pricing tables, testimonials, icon sets, advanced columns, tabs, accordions, and other layout elements that are absent from the default block library. These plugins are used by content creators, theme developers, and agencies who want to build rich page layouts entirely within the block editor without switching to a full page builder. Many block editor plugins are tightly integrated with Full Site Editing (FSE) and block themes, making them a growing alternative to traditional visual page builders for theme customization.
