I found the plugin very useful for those who want to start using blocks and can’t change the theme.

I like to use an encoder to hide forms from bots. Now, thanks to this fine plugin, I can put Gutenberg blocks in a Shrotcode and then put it in the encoder. Note:It also works to put several blocks in a shortcode and display them using user roles. Therefore, only one shortcode is needed to display different content for registered users / public. Ingenious!

Very rarely leave reviews, but this plugin deserves to be well known. Some might wonder what is the use case for a Gutenberg shortcode? Sometimes a commercial plugin will come with some nice Gutenberg blocks but not blocks or modules for the page builder you are using, but most all are able to use shortcodes. Very nice.

You can create an entire page or just a single block and it will generate a shortcode that you can use anywhere to display the block contents.
