Valeria Kazmiruk in WordPress plugins 2 Comments on Choosing a WordPress Shopping Cart Plugin from the List of the Best Ones

Do you have a website or blog and want to enhance it with an online shop? Or maybe you are looking for the best solution to build a WordPress eCommerce site from scratch?

Meet Getwid: WordPress Gutenberg Blocks by MotoPress

Ann Taylor in WordPress plugins Leave a comment on Meet Getwid: WordPress Gutenberg Blocks by MotoPress

Probably the fiercest Gutenberg blocks competition is in full swing. We are observing the rise of Gutenberg add-on plugins that are quickly growing in popularity.

However, I believe this time there is one important thing that unites all the block providers – and it’s the Gutenberg editor itself. The editing environment of Gutenberg made it much easier to combine different blocks from different companies and use them together with the core blocks, literally on one page. The matter of styling, performance, and development approaches in general still differ, of course, but at least you as a WordPress user can benefit from this freedom of choice and flexibility.

Now the most interesting part! With years of crafting WordPress content-building tools under the belt, MotoPress has also made its contribution!

Today we are introducing Getwid – a free Gutenberg blocks plugin that ships with the bundle of extra complex and simple blocks for all types of websites.
