Benefits – Benefits – Benefits
Having a review done by us or having an interview helps the traffic to the developers website, as was bought to our attention recently when we did an interview and reviewed a plugin for a developer who sent us snap shots of their traffic before and after the shows. The traffic stayed, so there are great benefits to being reviewed by WP Plugins A to Z. Submit Your Plugin Here.

jClocksGMT World Clocks
https://wordpress.org/plugins/jclocksgmt-wp/

Finding a plugin to display multiple clocks from multiple times zones in both a widget and a short code proved a bit difficult to locate it seemed. This one though while being a bit older seems to work well and fit the bill perfectly. Simple to use allows for nultiple clock styles as well as multiple time zones with multiple clocks.
A simple great plugins that just seems to work well so if you in need of something like this check out this plugin

For the Third Plugin I have:
Disable Gutenberg Blocks – Block Manager
https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-gutenberg-blocks/
The Lowdown:
Yes I am working my way though Gutenberg as some clients will be using it although i am moving my main development into Elemento with some great advice and help from Jez at Jezweb.
This plugin will help you clean up the mess that is Gutenberg by disabling the unused and unneeded blocks on a site. If you have used Gutenberg editor you will know that you can have lots of blocks and well you probably won’t use them all so you may as well hide the unused junk. That’s what you get here.
