What is Dorik?
A website builder restructuring its plans while the feed repeats every release four times
Two releases are visible behind heavy duplication — the April update appears four times and the March one twice. April introduced a new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Dorik Pro and Agency tiers, added a Table element and tooltip support for links and lists, released seven new templates, and fixed CMS pagination. March released six templates and fixed public API collection items not appearing on live sites, plus collection and page deletion and slug-change problems.
What is Spectra?
Spectra Blocks Pro 1.0.6 fixes dynamic data and Loop Builder on the front end.
Spectra Blocks Pro 1.0.6 is a fix release that makes dynamic content in templates, query loops and sliders behave reliably on the live site. It follows free-plugin 1.0.12, which fixed per-card featured images in Post blocks and added shortcode Button labels in full-site editing.

◆ Current state
Two releases are visible behind heavy duplication — the April update appears four times and the March one twice. April introduced a new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Dorik Pro and Agency tiers, added a Table element and tooltip support for links and lists, released seven new templates, and fixed CMS pagination. March released six templates and fixed public API collection items not appearing on live sites, plus collection and page deletion and slug-change problems.
◆ Where it's heading
The plan restructuring is the most consequential item: an unlimited-domain free tier alongside named Pro and Agency plans is a repositioning toward agencies who manage many client sites, with the free tier as the entry point. The feature work stays modest — a table element, tooltips, template volume — and the fixes cluster around the CMS and API, which is where a site builder gets used seriously rather than casually.
◆ Prediction
Expect further agency-oriented capability to follow the Agency plan, since the tier now exists but the window shows no multi-site management features to justify it.
Spectra
5.0DESIGN
Spectra Blocks Pro 1.0.6 fixes dynamic data and Loop Builder on the front end.
◆ Current state
Spectra Blocks Pro 1.0.6 is a fix release that makes dynamic content in templates, query loops and sliders behave reliably on the live site. It follows free-plugin 1.0.12, which fixed per-card featured images in Post blocks and added shortcode Button labels in full-site editing.
◆ Where it's heading
Spectra's last several releases have focused on matching the editor preview to the live site, first for AI-imported pages and containers, now for dynamic data and loops. The Pro add-on is filling in reliability after its style-guide and white-label features.
◆ Prediction
Expect more fidelity patches on both plugins; the entries don't point to a new feature release yet.
