Reviews

Block Finder has been an invaluable tool throughout our migration of over 700 websites from WordPress Classic to Gutenberg. At the beginning of the migration, as we discovered bugs with custom blocks, this straightforward plugin was very helpful in identifying where the blocks existed across all pages and post types. It allowed us to quickly identify blocks in multiple sites that needed to be adjusted. With several websites already live, Block Finder allowed us to find and fix these issues efficiently. I would highly recommend this plugin for anyone managing large-scale migrations or working with custom blocks.
