Gutenberg Block Control

Hide unused or risky blocks so the block editor stays simple and on-brand.

Overview

A Pro Admin module that curates the block inserter: checkbox UI by category, search, disable/enable all per category, enforced via allowed_block_types_all and client unregisterBlockType. Block inventory caches briefly and rebuilds when you open the editor so plugin blocks appear—open the editor once, then refresh the list. Hard conflict with Disable Gutenberg—enable only one. Requires a valid WP PowerSuite license.
