AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Genesis Custom Blocks is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Blocks category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 21 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 Genesis Custom Blocks works
Show full descriptionShow less
Genesis Custom Blocks provides WordPress developers with the tools they need to take control of the block-first reality of modern WordPress.
The WordPress block editor (AKA Gutenberg) opens up a whole new world for the way we build pages, posts, and websites with WordPress. Genesis Custom Blocks makes it easy to harness this and build custom blocks the way you want them to be built. Whether you want to implement a custom design, deliver unique functionality, or even remove your dependence on other plugins, Genesis Custom Blocks equips you with the tools you need to hit “Publish” sooner.
Take control of design – Implement beautiful, custom designs with fine-tuned front-end templating control.
Build unique functionality – Build blocks that function and behave exactly as you need.
Extend & Integrate – Easily extend your custom blocks to integrate with third-party apps and plugins.
Features A Familiar Experience Work within the WordPress admin with an interface you already know.
Block Fields Add from a growing list of available fields to your custom blocks.
Simple Templating Let the plugin do the heavy lifting so you can use the built-in editor, or familiar WordPress development practices to build block templates.
Developer Friendly Functions As an alternative to the built-in editor, there are simple functions, ready to render and work with the data stored through your custom block fields.
