Top 5 Gutenberg Block Editor Tools and Utilities for WordPress websites

Here are my Top 5 Gutenberg Block Editor Tools and Utilities that will turn you into a Gutenberg Ninja.

Gutenberg Block Editor Tools I reviewed

This is a Gutenberg plugin that adds an outline around each block. Outline settings are based on user meta. Each user can change the settings according to their needs and it will applied only to their account.

Find My Blocks is a WordPress plugin built to help (as it says in the name) find where you have used specific Gutenberg blocks on your WordPress website.

Block Navigation provides a sidebar with the current post/page's blocks and some tools to facilitate the editing process in the new Gutenberg editor.

What Detective Wapuu does is it scans the site you are currently on and let's you know which blocks they are using and where. Not only can you discover new blocks but you can get ideas on how to put blocks together in new and interesting ways.

WordPress Theme Detector is a free tool that allows you to find all the details about the WordPress theme and plugins currently being used by a site.

Great video Jamie. The block outliner is a Godsend (all religions included). Thanks for all the tips, saves a lot of floundering around

Welcome to Jazz, er, Gutenberg, Club. Nice!

Very useful. Thanks Jamie. When Gutenberg got its foot in the door I, as a developer, had a mild panic wondering how I could use my WP skills. I thought all was lost. But us developers just need to re-adjust as there's plenty to do in this arena. Not just creating custom blocks, but from what you've just shown, there's a lot of scope in the utility area.

I think inspect page in your browser will list the plugins also (you just have to search more)

Great content, but the jazz club was a bit raucous tonight. ;-)

Morning.. It's me again.. I've upgraded to business plan on WordPress and as a newbie on all things techy I'm finding your vids very easy to follow and understand... I have a question... Is there a way were there is an image and in that image are several click able links that lead to external websites... Eg... A picture of a kitchen and within that picture are links to Amazon ie the cooker, fridge, blender etc etc.. The visitor clicks on those items and is taken to another relevant page about that item.. Is it possible?

I guess some of these plugins would only be send in the early stages of creating a site? Then de-activate later to reduce bloat?
