AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Simple Shortcode Block is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Block-enabled category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 2 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 Simple Shortcode Block works
Show full descriptionShow less
A simple block to the new WordPress editor Gutenberg to insert and show also in the backend all your old shortcodes.
This block allows you to work with shortcodes into Gutenberg like the native WordPress Block, but with a new feature: You can see ( in many case ) the shortcodes in the backend in a similar way as render in the frontend of the web
Now is very easy to see what your shortcodes are going to show in the web thanks of Gutenberg and this dynamic simple shortcode block.
Do not you see what you expected? Not always is possible to see the shortcode in the backend as in the frontend because of it is depend on each plugin and also your active theme, but this plugin allow you to try with some options to improve this:
*Select to include some CSS of the plugin into Gutenberg editor for each shortcode block.
*Select to include some JS of the plugin into Gutenberg editor for each shortcode block.
*Hide / Show the input where you put the shortcode to avoid to see it into the editor (see the third Screenshot).
What You See in the backend with Gutenberg editor Is ( in many case ) What You Get! and the plugin only enqueue the selected assets if it is necesary to improve the apparience between backend and frontend.
Feedback and support I would be happy to receive your feedback to improve this plugin.
