As mentioned in this week’s meta meeting, the draft guidelines for plugins submitted to the Block Directory are available for discussion:
https://github.com/WordPress/wporg-plugin-guidelines/pull/68
Your feedback and suggestions are welcome.
As a general update on the Block Directory status:
- Blocks can be submitted to the directory using the regular plugin submission form. Make it clear that it’s a block in your description and/or correspondence with the plugin review team, and we’ll include it in the Block Directory.
- The Block Directory has a small number of block plugins already available. We’d love to add more, so please submit your plugins or let us know about any existing plugins that meet the guidelines.
- If you’re running Gutenberg as a plugin, you can install block plugins directly from the editor by enabling the Block Directory experimental flag:

- We have a list of follow-up work still to be done in the Gutenberg codebase.
- Improvements to the Block Directory itself are ongoing – join us in the #meta channel and follow our fortnightly chat to help us out with feedback and contributions.
