Best timeline plugin
By Erix Kivuti (elzix) on September 18, 2024
Easy to customize, even beyond the block options.
Very good, neat, clean design - best choice!
By worldmaker on September 9, 2024
After playing with it for a year or two I've found it a great block for adding multiple timelines around a site, for general site news or progress reports and highlights on a given project. This is what distinguished the block over other offerings which limit you to only one timeline on a site. Here you can create multiple timelines.
The block-based management and customization of the timelines is clean, clear and simple, and powerful enough to satisfy most users, and can be tweaked with CSS overrides when needed. I'm sure many users will ask for more but I appreciate the creator is going to need a few thousand more users to encourage his work.
Keep up the good work and best wishes for the future of this great little building block for great sites.
very nice and clear interface, simple and clean

Just a Gutenberg block as you expect it should be. Beautiful integrated.
One of the best timeline block
By Sharaz Shahid (sharaz) on July 10, 2023
Few recommendation just change your plugin name Advanced Timeline Gutenberg Block to Advanced Timeline Block for better search query.
Other than that your timeline support the inner block that makes it unique from others.
I would like to more features in future.
Simple and Modern Timeline plugin
By Intacto on March 17, 2023
Great plugin, simple. Works well with standard block Editor elements! Only I did not find how to change arrow in vertical timeline, but it is easy to customize for web programmers. Tested on 6.1.1
Top Notch!
