PublishPress Blocks – Block Controls, Block Visibility, Block Permissions

Great tool for modern Design


Maybe it's a good plugin, I don't know, but the gigantic admin notice to submit a plugin review prevented me from using it. So here I am, submitting a review, as you asked. Good luck!


Couldn't get beyond the admin notices

PublishPress Blocks is your complete solution for the WordPress block editor. You can control block permissions, styles, visibility, usage and more.
