Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Block Data Attribute version 2.1.0 as active, updated 4mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
Block Data Attribute lets you attach custom data-* attributes to core WordPress blocks straight from the block settings sidebar. No theme edits, no custom code, no block validation errors.
data-* attributes are a standard HTML mechanism for storing extra information on elements. They are widely used for JavaScript interactions, CSS targeting, analytics tagging, accessibility enhancements, and third-party integrations. This plugin brings that capability into the block editor in a clean, structured way.
Key Features
Add any number of data-* attributes to supported blocks.
Name and value fields with input sanitisation built in.
Drag-and-drop reordering of attributes within the sidebar panel.
Attributes are saved directly in block markup — no post meta, no database overhead.
Fully extensible: register additional allowed block types via a JavaScript filter.
No build step required — ships as a single plain JavaScript file.
Translation-ready.

Out of the box the following core blocks support custom data attributes:
core/button
