Do I need 4WP Bundle to use other 4WP plugins?
No. Each 4WP plugin works standalone. Bundle is recommended when you run several 4WP plugins and want one dashboard, catalog sync with GitHub, and shared addon blocks in the editor.

How do I enable or disable an addon block?
Go to 4WP Bundle → Addons, check or uncheck each addon, and click Save. Disabled addons are not registered on init, so they disappear from the block inserter.

How does the plugin dashboard work?
Under 4WP Bundle → Blocks, the UI lists every installed 4wp-* plugin and compares versions against the remote plugins.json manifest from GitHub. You can install missing plugins via download URL, activate or deactivate, update when a newer release exists, and open README or documentation links.
