  • Perfect for Enhancing Gutenberg Block Styles!

    I’ve been using Additional Block Styles for a few weeks, and it's a game-changer! This plugin adds so many creative styling options to Gutenberg blocks, making it easy to give my site a fresh, custom look without needing extra CSS. The options are straightforward, and the styles integrate seamlessly with existing blocks. Highly recommend for anyone looking to take their WordPress design up a notch!

  • Block style extension as it should be

    I meant to test Abs for quite some time now, as it cleverly extends the possible styles of the core blocks, not adding a gazillion extra “advanced heading” blocks etc. to your already bloated block inserter. Abs adds a class to the blocks meaning, you can actually disable the Abs plugin entirely, and your content will still render, just with normal core styles. You won’t even get the dreaded “This block contains unexpected or invalid content.” This approach makes Abs very robust, in the way that should you ever encounter a problem with the Abs styling, you just disable that feature in the Abs settings panel, and core WordPress styling will be used. No lock in. No dependencies. Tested with WP 6.5, PHP 8.3, the W3C HTML Validator and WebAIM Wave. No issues found. Definitely give Abs a try. I might not do as much as some block plugins, but what it does, it does extremely well.
