Reviews

perfect

Vincent Breton August 17, 2024

I appreciate that this plugin offers light layouts that do not weigh down the page, I am looking forward to proposals using the new grid block

Super heroes of plugins

Donna Fontenot May 17, 2023

Not only does Extendify have a beautiful array of patterns and templates, but it goes a huge step further by not locking anyone in. If you use Extendify templates or patterns, and then decide to deactivate Extendify, you can choose to have all the CSS used for them to your site, so nothing breaks! Wow. That is next level and worthy of high praise.

Needs a beter icon

This plugin needs a better icon. I have no idea what the current one is supposed to be. I created a better one and you can have it for free. Just let me know if you want it. No strings attached, no attribution necessary.

Truly extends patterns

Tammie Lister August 26, 2022

Patterns and templates are great, but they can be hard for some people to visualise. This library has a collection ready to go and boosts anyone. This means what you visually have in mind is easily within reach.

Extendify is a MUST HAVE plugin. Here’s why…

Kev Provance August 22, 2022

The future of WordPress is Gutenberg. There are no if, and, or buts about it. Leading that charge is Extendify. While WordPress gives you the tools to create that perfect website, Extendify will take it a step further, giving you a multitude of templates to design that site in a series of point-and-click interfaces. Your dream site is one plugin away from reality, and *this* plugin will get you there!

Must have Gutenberg plugin
