FSE Plugin Starter Kit

These are my recommended go to plugins for most any Full Site Editing project

GENERAL PURPOSE

For security & protection from brute force attacks

To easily connect with Google Analytics

SEO must – easiest way to manage meta-descriptions

If you are using SVG files you will need this

BLOCK BASED ESSENTIALS

Facilitates creation of block based themes

Enhances the editorial controls in Gutenberg – including title & block visibility

Even though block visibility is a factor in the plugin above it doesn’t work inside of templates or template parts, this plugin allows that control

BLOCK BASED NICE TO HAVE

Superior alternative to the columns block

Wonderful for using SVG image files – for mor information follow this link: https://jeffmcnear.com/wpsvg/

Sharing block from Nick Diego

Even though there is a responsive menu option with the menu block, the presentation controls are very limited – this plugin is more flexible and offers more options

the “active” background for a menu item is set by the chosen theme and there is no element in the interface to modify that – the CSS selector you would need to make that over ride is:

.rmp-menu-current-item .rmp-menu-item-link {background-color:red!important;}

BESPOKE PLUGINS TO SHARE
