  • Amazing! What I've needed for years!

    I am so excited I found this plugin! This plugin is so powerful thanks to the power of CSS Grid which this plugin brings to you in full. Anyone struggling to get their layout to look like they want in the Block Editor seriously have to give this plugin a look! In the hands of a web developer it is incredibly power and just what we need. Note, I wish it showed up better in the WP plugin directory search, since it would have saved me so much pain. Oddly, even search the exact name usually doesn't bring it up. :(
