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.

Privacy

Blocklayouts doesn’t track your visitors, set cookies, or collect personal data on the front end of your site.

The pattern library is a SaaS (software as a service) feature that fetches patterns and page templates from Blocklayouts servers. These requests are only made when a logged-in user opens the library in the editor, and they include your site URL. If you activate a license key, the key, your site URL and your site name are sent to activate it and to re-validate it once a day.

No other personal or site data is collected or transmitted. See “External services” below for the full details.

By using Blocklayouts and accessing our pattern library, you agree to our privacy policy and terms of service.

External services

This plugin connects to the Blocklayouts pattern library service to provide block patterns, page templates, and their categories inside the editor, and to manage an optional premium license. Every custom block and block extension included in the plugin works fully without these requests; only the online pattern/template library and premium-license features rely on them.

com)

  • What it is used for: fetching block patterns, page templates, and their categories for display in the editor’s pattern library.
  • When requests are sent: only when a logged-in user with editing permissions opens the Blocklayouts pattern library or browses its tabs and categories.
  • What data is sent: your site URL (as the HTTP Referer header). No post content, user data, or other personal information is transmitted.
  • Pattern preview images, and any images used in the patterns you insert, may be loaded from Blocklayouts servers. As with any image, your browser sends its IP address and user agent when loading them.

com)

  • What it is used for: activating, validating, and deactivating an optional premium license that unlocks access to premium patterns and page templates.
  • When requests are sent: only when an administrator activates or deactivates a license key, and periodically (via a scheduled task) to re-validate a license key you have entered. No requests are made if you never enter a license key.
  • What data is sent: the license key you enter and your site URL and site name (used together as the license instance identifier).

These services are provided by Blocklayouts. By using them you agree to the Blocklayouts terms of service and privacy policy.
