  • The missing function of the FSE

    Finally, a way to compensate for the lack of an essential feature in FSE: the ability to save custom style settings. Thank you for making this possible while we wait for FSE to add this feature.

  • Does what it says and does it well

    This plugin fixes a huge hole in WordPress and allows you to easily copy your entire customised theme from one site to another. This is invaluable for moving from a local development site to a live site, for copying your work from one site to another, or simply for backing things up in an easily portable format. I used this on the current latest version of WordPress (v6.4.3) and it worked with zero issues. I was copying a highly customised version of Twenty Twenty Three with some complex templates and it worked without a hitch. I'm definitely adding this plugin to my list of default installs.

  • Fills a glaring gap in Wordpress for block themes

    Very good, just what I need. After a quick test it seems just what is needed to develop customisations on a staging server then quickly transfer them to a live server. Greatly eases the task of migrating a site to a new theme.

  • Superb tool, thanks!

    I'm working on a theme who's slug I had to correct, which caused loss of all the template parts. I used this plugin to export the parts from the broken theme, searched and replaced the bad slug with the new slug and then ran the import, worked absolutely perfect. Thanks folks!
