Solves navigation block functionality on mobile devices
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).

Great Plugin with very interesting options (f. e. shrinked header)
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.

Works as expected
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.

Excellent plugin for Twenty Twenty Two
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!
