Wayfinder

This plugin solves a common pain point of the Block Editor - selecting the right block. It does it in a clean way, with a few settings for those who want to customize the look.

This plugin is gonna become an instant classic.

Awesome addition to Gutenberg

A lifesaver when working with very complicated layouts in WordPress!

Great plugin!

The title which of course is a (sort of accurate) quote from the Godfather III movie fits perfectly in this case.

I was relying on the "EditorsKit" plugin to display the borders, then I found the "Editor Blocks Border" plugin which was better, and I thought I don't have to worry about that issue anymore, only to find this plugin which is the best one of it's kind so far.

It does one thing, and it does it better than anything !

Nicely done, and the most amazing thing is that the zip file is only 3.31kb - (not a typo) !!!

I'm out again...



Every time I say I'm out, they pull me back in !

Thanks for this Plugin! I miss this definitely in core. As good Gutenberg and the idea of it is, navigation beetween blocks is one of the really bad parts in Gutenberg at the moment.

The missing part in Gutenberg core


Great plugin. Thanks for creating this. This is the only plugin I've seen that actually makes the block editor less painful to use. No more guessing where blocks start and end, or struggling with trying to select blocks or their containers. This is how the Block Editor UI should've been all along. 👍👍


Makes the Block Editor useful


Thank you for developing this much needed helper for those of us that struggle with the block editor UI/UX. I'm glad it's still being developed.


A must-have for me

Easily identify and select blocks in use within the editor.
