AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Better Block Editor (BBE) is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Responsive category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 10 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Better Block Editor (BBE) works
Show full descriptionShow less
Better Block Editor (BBE) adds responsive layout controls, hover effects, on-scroll animations, and ready-to-use site templates to Block Editor. It’s not another page builder. It doesn’t replace core blocks or add bloat — BBE just adds the missing settings where needed. It works with your current block theme and plugins, so your existing content stays intact.
Highlights
Responsive Settings for Row, Stack, Grid, Columns, Button, Navigation, and text (Heading, Paragraph) blocks — choose a breakpoint, then adjust orientation, spacing, and alignment at that breakpoint.
Responsive Visibility for any block — set the default visibility state and change it at a chosen breakpoint.
Prevent Shrinking for elements set to Fixed or Fit-content sizes — keeps complex layouts intact on small screens.
Animation on Scroll — configurable animation effect, easing, duration, and delay.
Hover colors for Button and Navigation.
Pre-made Sites and Partial Import — bring over a full site or a single page/section; assets import automatically.
One-click customization for imported content — set primary, secondary, and neutral colors; BBE creates a balanced palette in one click.
Native Block Editor integration — no lock-in, lightweight, GPL, and free.

Features
Responsive Settings for Row and Stack — change orientation (convert Row ↔ Stack), justification, vertical alignment, and spacing at a chosen breakpoint. This panel is key to controllable responsive behavior in Block Editor sites.
Prevent Shrinking — available when a block’s width/height is set to Fit content or Fixed; prevents fixed-size elements from collapsing on small screens.
Responsive Visibility for any block — set the default visibility state (visible/hidden) and change it at a chosen breakpoint.
Responsive Settings for Grid — replaces the core Stack on mobile with a dedicated panel to choose the stacking breakpoint and adjust spacing at that breakpoint.
Improved Stack on mobile for Columns — choose the breakpoint and optionally reverse the column order at that breakpoint.
Navigation overlay menu — replaces the fixed Mobile option with Responsive; pick the exact breakpoint when navigation collapses to a menu icon (useful for headers).
Hover color for Navigation — add hover color controls for menu and submenu items.
Responsive Settings for Button — control the orientation of inner buttons (stack or reverse), plus justification and vertical alignment at a chosen breakpoint.
Hover colors for Button — set text, background, and border colors on hover.
Responsive Settings for Post Template (Grid view) — stack posts and adjust spacing at a chosen breakpoint.
Animation on Scroll for any block — subtle reveal on scroll with configurable effect, easing, duration, and delay.
Responsive text alignment — add alignment controls at a chosen breakpoint for Heading, Paragraph, and select text-based blocks.
SVG Icon block + sanitized SVG upload — place SVG icons anywhere; control size, color, hover color, and linking.
Breakpoints — edit built-in breakpoints and add or remove custom breakpoints.
