<h4>Options for Block Themes</h4>
<p>With WordPress v5.9 the first default block theme with Full Site Editing was launched … Twenty Twenty-Two.</p>
<p>This plugin expands on the functionality to manage (export / import / delete) templates and template parts that are not part of the theme without having to have a child theme.</p>
<p>Having a block theme also removes links to the legacy Customizer. This plugin allows you to change that!</p>
<p>This plugin will also enable the Template Editor in Gutenberg for full site editing for any theme!</p>
<h4>Additional Core Block Options</h4>
<ul>
<li>Option to enable expandable submenus to the Navigation Block modal.</li>
<li>Option to add full block link option to Group and Cover Blocks.</li>
<li>Option to close other Details Blocks when selected one is opened giving the Details Block a basic “accordion” functionality.</li>
<li>Option to populate the Gallery Block with an ACF / SCF Gallery field</li>
</ul>
<h4>Conditional Block Logic</h4>
<ul>
<li>Enable Block Logic and you will be able to show or hide blocks conditionally by Date / Time. We will be adding more conditions in the future.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Reinstate Customizer Links</h4>
<p>Activating the plugin will inject the “Customize” links back into the “Dashboard – Appearance” and Admin Bar locations for WordPress prior to v6.0. There is an option to disable this if you prefer.</p>
<h4>Edit Existing Templates</h4>
<p>Once you’ve installed this plugin, head over to “Dashboard – Appearance – Manage Templates” where you can change the title, description and name of customized templates from the active theme or any other theme.</p>
<h4>Duplicate Templates</h4>
<p>Save templates as a copy to the active theme.</p>
<p>This allows you to use the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Template Hierarchy</a> to name your templates so that they can be used for custom post types, custom taxonomies, specific post or pages or anything you like!</p>
<h4>Delete Templates</h4>
<p>Easily delete templates from the active theme or any other theme. This doesn’t delete the orginal theme template, just any customizations you have made.</p>
<h4>Download Templates</h4>
<p>Download your template as .json files to back them up or to migrate them to another WordPress site.</p>
<h4>Upload Templates</h4>
<p>Upload template .json files to the active theme. This allows you to restore a template you backed up or migrate a template to another WordPress site.</p>
<h4>Download Global Styles</h4>
<p>Download your global styles as .json files to back them up or to migrate them to another WordPress site or theme.</p>
<h4>Upload Global Styles</h4>
<p>Upload global styles .json files to the active theme. This allows you to restore global styles you backed up or migrate global styles to another WordPress site.</p>
<h4>Sticky Header</h4>
<p>Easily enable a sticky header / menu in full site editor themes like Twenty Twenty-Two.</p>
<h4>Animate Site Logo</h4>
<p>Enable an option to shrink the header site logo when you scroll down the page.</p>


Options for Block Themes

The great plugin "Options for Block Themes" offers some interesting things that are very interesting for users who create their websites with a block theme such as Twenty Twenty-Four. For me, an important aspect was the shrinked header. But the other options are also very helpful because they simplify the management of block themes.

Great Plugin with very interesting options (f. e. shrinked header)

Adds options to core blocks and allows import / export of global styles, templates and template parts!
