Honest, straightforward reviews of WordPress plugins and themes. No scores, no affiliate links — just what works and what doesn’t.
Plugin
GenerateBlocks
A lightweight block toolkit that adds Container, Headline, Buttons, and Grid blocks without bloating the editor. Does one thing well: gives you the layout primitives that core blocks lack. The free version covers most use cases. Worth having in any builder’s toolkit.
Theme
Twenty Twenty-Five
The best default theme WordPress has shipped in years. Clean theme.json structure, sensible style variations, and enough design flexibility without overwhelming new users. It’s a genuine showcase for what block themes can do when the constraints are right. My only gripe: the navigation block mobile behavior could use more polish.
Plugin
WP-CLI
Not a plugin in the traditional sense, but essential infrastructure. If you manage more than one WordPress site and you’re not using WP-CLI, you’re leaving hours on the table every week. The command reference is excellent, the package ecosystem keeps growing, and it’s the fastest way to debug anything on a production site.
