MysteryThemes Toolkit is a companion plugin for MysteryThemes WordPress themes that extends the block editor with reusable Gutenberg blocks and common theme features. It provides blocks such as Post Meta, Content Info, and Post Navigation to help you create and customize content layouts directly in the WordPress block editor. The plugin is designed to work seamlessly with supported MysteryThemes themes while keeping common block functionality separate, reusable, and theme-independent.
