  • Works as it's supposed to; functional

    It works as it said it's supposed to with no upselling, obtrusive ads. Has a clear interface.

  • No further updates and error prone

    This plugin is not getting updates in a year. It also causes the Gutenberg editor to crash. Avoid.

  • Excellent plugin

    The plugin made it super simple to disable some of the blocks that I wanted to be kept away from the general editors to avoid confusion. WOW, it just needed a click and done. Thank you for this amazing work!

    It hides many unnecessary blocks perfectly. I am really grateful to the developer.
