Options for Block Themes adds practical settings to core blocks and provides focused tools for transferring Global Styles, templates and template parts between themes or WordPress sites.

Theme and block options

The Theme Options screen brings the plugin’s enhancements together in one place:

  • Make a block-theme header sticky and optionally shrink its Site Logo while scrolling.
  • Add expandable submenus and an on-scroll overlay option to the Navigation block.
  • Turn Group and Cover blocks into full-block links.
  • Give Details blocks accordion-style behaviour by closing other open Details blocks.
  • Populate a Gallery block from an ACF or SCF Gallery field.
  • Show or hide blocks conditionally by date and time with Block Logic.

Transfer Global Styles

Download Global Styles as a JSON file independently of templates and template parts. Use the file as a backup, migrate styles to another site or theme, or edit the JSON before uploading it to the active theme.

This focused styles-only workflow is useful when you do not want to export and move an entire block theme.

Transfer templates

Download customized templates individually as JSON files and upload them to the active theme on another site. You can also:

  • View customized templates associated with the active or an inactive theme.
  • Change a template’s title, description or slug.
  • Save a template as a copy associated with the active theme.
  • Delete a database customization without deleting the original template supplied by the theme.

Custom slugs can follow the WordPress Template Hierarchy for custom post types, taxonomies, specific posts, pages and other contexts.

Transfer template parts

Download customized headers, footers and other template parts individually as JSON files, then upload them to the active theme on another site. Customized template parts associated with inactive themes can also be viewed, downloaded or deleted.

Classic-theme compatibility

The plugin retains its original options for enabling the block Template Editor on a classic theme and restoring legacy Customizer links where applicable.
