Options for Block Themes

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 95% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 400+ in roughly 1081 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Options for Block Themes by Oliver Campion of Web:D has built in an option to: enable expandable submenus to the Navigation Block modal – which is tech speak for collapsible submenus on mobile devices. This plugin works and solves our top burning issue with WP 6.7 (and prior to that WP 6.6). Thank you Oliver Campion of Web:D. Our thanks to Hans-Gerd Gerhards who highlighted the new functionality of the Options for Block Themes plugin in a German language post on his website: Aufklappbare Untermenüs bei Block Themes (Expandable submenus in 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.

   Not for rookies as it takes a little bit of fiddling but this fiddling is necessary and not a lot. If you have any experience at all and want to create new or modified template copied this plugin is the bomb.

   This plugin has been a huge help to me because we run multiple websites, and even with the Site Editor making all of the sites identical would be tiresome. In our case, it was simply a matter of installing Template Manager on both sites, then one click to select a template on the donor site, and a second click to download it. Then (in the recipient site) after a click or two to delete modifications to the old templates, a final click to upload the new one. All that then remains is to edit a page and select the new template in the setting dropdown. It saves hours and hours of work!
