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.

Overview

About this plugin

N-C Branding Guard helps agencies and site owners keep Gutenberg content on-brand. Set approved colors, typography, and blocks, then warn editors when content drifts outside your design rules.

The free plugin focuses on practical Gutenberg guardrails:

  • Approved brand color palette
  • Approved font size slugs
  • Allowed Gutenberg blocks
  • Restricted roles
  • Editor sidebar warnings
  • Optional block inserter restriction for restricted roles
  • Extensible scan API for Pro reporting
  • Issue severity settings for warn/block policy planning
  • Policy Health checklist for launch readiness
  • Policy import/export for repeatable brand setup across sites
  • Support Snapshot for faster support requests

Give clients editing freedom without letting pages lose consistency.

Upgrade to N-C Branding Guard Pro when you need site-wide reports, publish/update blocking, approved exceptions, activity logs, printable client reports, Gutenberg auto-fix, Elementor scanning, WPBakery scanning, and license/support tools.

Privacy

N-C Branding Guard stores its policy settings in your WordPress database and scans content locally inside WordPress. Computer automatically.

The settings page includes links to documentation, support, and optional Pro information. Computer pages only when a user chooses to click them.

The Support Snapshot is shown so site owners can copy diagnostic details into a support request. It can include the site URL, WordPress version, PHP version, plugin version, policy enabled state, restricted roles, policy counts, and guardrail settings. It is not transmitted automatically.
