Elementor Blocks for Gutenberg

50 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

With around 10,000 active installs, it sits in a narrow niche and is far less adopted than mainstream Elementor addons, which is why popularity only scores 60 out of 30 potential points adjusted down to the weighted contribution.

Update Freshness

3/25

It was updated on November 26, 2024, is tested against WordPress 6.7.5, and has a low PHP 7.0 requirement, so the code is clearly being maintained for broad compatibility.

User Rating

14/15

A 96 out of 100 from 17 ratings is excellent, though the small sample size means this should be read as early positive signal rather than a settled track record.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved is a neutral sign: there is no visible demand, but also no public evidence of an active help forum if something does go wrong.

WP Compatibility

8/15

It is tested with WordPress 6.7.5, requires only WordPress 5.6 and PHP 7.0, and is published by the official Elementor team, which gives reasonable confidence in compatibility going forward.

What It Does

This plugin, made by the official Elementor team, adds a Gutenberg block that lets you embed any saved Elementor template directly inside the WordPress block editor. It is essentially a bridge for users who design layouts in Elementor's saved templates library but publish or edit posts using Gutenberg. There are no styling or widget extras bundled in; the focus is purely on template insertion.

Who It's For

This is best for site owners who already build pages with Elementor and have a library of saved templates, but occasionally need to drop one of those templates into a Gutenberg post or page. It suits hybrid workflows where a team uses Elementor for landing pages and Gutenberg for blog content, and wants consistency without rebuilding layouts twice. Agencies maintaining mixed-editor sites will get the most value here.

Who Should Skip It

If you only use Gutenberg or only use Elementor, this plugin adds no real benefit and just creates a dependency. Sites that do not already rely on Elementor templates should look at native Gutenberg block libraries instead, since this tool does not produce any design assets of its own.

The Bottom Line

Elementor Blocks for Gutenberg is a focused, well-maintained utility from the official Elementor team, but its narrow scope and low install base keep the overall quality score at 53.43 out of 100. It earns top marks from its small group of users and shows recent updates, yet the lack of any public support activity and limited adoption suggest it is a convenience tool rather than an essential add-on. Install it only if you have a real Elementor template library you need to reuse inside Gutenberg.

Pick this if you want a massive library of ready-made Elementor widgets and templates in addition to embedding capabilities.
