Immediately trashed all my customized defaults
By kmdock on January 19, 2026
It particularly overrode my typography choices in Gutenberg. I don't have time to faff about with adjusting everying. Deleted.
Must-have addon for Gutenberg
By nordword on November 24, 2025
I started moving a few of my client websites from Elementor to Gutenberg, mainly for performance reasons, and UiCore Blocks made the transition surprisingly smooth. The blocks feel well designed, everything loads fast, and the editor doesn’t get cluttered.
If you're working with Gutenberg, this plugin is definitely worth having in your setup.
Happy with this Elementor Pro alternative
By Julian Gonzalez (belial9826) on November 16, 2025
I've been an Elementor Pro user, and in UiCore Blocks - Free WordPress Gutenberg Blocks, I've found the closest thing to Gutenberg for enhancing the structure and functionality of a custom website, and the best part… it's free!
I've implemented it on my personal site, using the design provided by Lovable, and the layout process has been greatly simplified with the help of this plugin.
