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.

WP PlugIndex currently records Custom Action Block version 1.0.1 as active, updated 1y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.6.
Overview
About this plugin
Custom Action Block is a powerful WordPress plugin that adds a new block type to the Gutenberg editor. This block allows users to insert custom action hooks anywhere on their WordPress site, not just in posts and pages. This flexibility enables developers to add dynamic content or functionality at any location where blocks can be used, including:
– Posts and pages
– Custom post types
– Widget areas (if block-based widgets are enabled)
– Site-wide areas in block-based themes (header, footer, sidebar)
– Reusable blocks that can be inserted anywhere
By providing this level of flexibility, Custom Action Block opens up endless possibilities for customizing and extending your WordPress site’s functionality.
Usage
For Content Creators:
Edit a post or page using the block editor
Click the ‘+’ icon to add a new block
Search for “Custom Action” in the block inserter
Add the Custom Action block to your content
In the block settings, specify a unique name for your action (e.g., “my_custom_action”)
