Amazing plugin
Although I love FSE and the direction it is going, there are two things I really, really don't like. A simple way to assign page templates, headers and footers to post-types, tags and categories. That's why I created a plugin for it. On issue less. But the second... not so easy. The FSE navigation block user interface. As a website builder I don't like it, and for the end-user (client of person who maintains the pages) it's horror. Your plugin is top, the best, fabulous and some more. The way you created the setup and integration is really superb. Thanks!!!

Worked like a dream
Great to add that classic control when using an FSE theme.

Lets you spare your clients from Gutenberg
I was hoping someone else had thought about forwarding classic menus into the Navigation Gutenberg block, and sure enough, there's a plugin for that.I have a pretty fragile Gutenberg/block editor-based site that both my client and I would prefer I'm the only one who touches. At the same time, my client needs to add/remove menu items without involving me, and the classic menu editor is the perfect solution for that. With this plugin, everyone's happy.The plugin's ergonimics are little awkward. I think a better design would've been to add an option near the existing "import classic menu" option in the Navigation block, but as long as it works, I'm satisfied.

Using menu in FSE theme
A great extension for having real, functional menus in FSE themes.The native block is… how should I put it…

Perfect!
Thank you for this plugin. I'm ready for FSE, but my customers are not. 😊 This way they can manage the menu without risking deleting anything.

Exactly what needed
Great job, maybe needed some polishing, but it provides exactly that is needed. Gives the Classic Menu Admin and ability to style. It would be great to see the classic menu working on the edit mode when the menu is selected, otherwise it is a little confusing, is it selected or not.
