Editor Plus
6,000+ active installs · Rated 4.8/5 · Updated November 9, 2023
A plugin that adds visual design controls to the Gutenberg block editor, including typography, spacing, borders, backgrounds, shadows, animations and shape dividers, each adjustable per device. It also adds missing blocks such as tabs, accordions, countdowns and progress bars, plus a custom CSS editor. It suits owners who want more styling options without code. The plugin is free, though it was last updated in late 2023.
Pros
- Each extension can be switched on or off from one settings page
- Responsive and hover styling for core blocks
- No external calls or paid tier
Cons
- Readme last tested with WordPress 6.4
- Styles are stored in block attributes, so removing the plugin loses the design
- Global JS setting lets admins inject scripts site-wide
