  • Works like a charm

    "Reusable Gutenberg Blocks Widget" didn't work properly for my site so I just switched to this plugin, and found this is the one I expected. Appreciated for awesome implementation.

  • Works as expected, improvements possible

    Thank you! Nice and lightweight plugin. Please add a description with a link to the list of global blocks below the Blocks dropdown. This would make it easier to create new global blocks if needed. Also i would expect the block title is used as widget title but it is not. Will you that please?
