Suggestions to Improve Gutenverse: Essential Features and Changes Needed
-
Hello Dev Team,
I’ve explored various plugins for editing posts, and I must say Gutenverse stands out as the best. However, there are a few features it currently lacks and some tweaks that could make it even better.
Suggested Features:
- Call-to-Action Block: Adding a dedicated CTA block would be incredibly useful.
- Advanced Table Block: A table block with capabilities like adding images, buttons, and color adjustments would be a game-changer. Most plugins offering tables are standalone solutions, which can bloat our website. An integrated solution within Gutenverse would be ideal.
- Default Block Styles: It would save a lot of time if we could define default styles for blocks like buttons and CTAs to match our theme. Currently, I have to manually edit the design each time I add these blocks to a post.
Suggested Changes:
- Custom IDs for Advanced Headings: The advanced heading block does not generate an “ID” by default, and attempts to manually add an ID via HTML result in the block malfunctioning. This limitation prevents the creation of custom tables of contents. Adding an option to set a custom ID for the heading block would be extremely helpful.
- Decimal Support for Star Ratings: The star rating widget currently does not support decimal values (e.g., 4.5 or 3.7). Adding decimal support would make this feature much more versatile.
- Icon Color Customization: The icon list block lacks the ability to customize icon colors individually. For example, when creating a pros and cons list, it would be beneficial to use different colors like red for cons and green for pros. Introducing this level of customization would enhance usability.
Additional Request:
Many of us primarily use Gutenverse for editing posts rather than building entire pages or websites. If your long-term plan is to expand the plugin into a full-fledged page builder, I suggest considering a separate plugin for such purposes, similar to the Gutenverse Form plugin. This way, the main plugin remains lightweight and focused.
Thank you for considering these suggestions!
Best regards,
Tasin
