Excellent and surprising

    It’s amazing. In an unobtrusive way (everything in WordPress still looks ‘normal’), everything works better, and the native WordPress Gutenberg blocks, including the query, suddenly have professional options. To think I didn’t know about this plugin!

    By the way, I also immediately tested the Twentig One theme: I know it is version 1, but I haven’t been able to discover a single bug yet; it is a top-notch FSE theme.

    Am I missing anything? Actually, only dynamic fields. It would be wonderful if the Twentig plugin also worked with custom fields, such as ACF, ACPT, or Metabox.

    Oh, and I hope the Twentig One theme ends up on wordpress.org as well…

    Hi,

    Thanks so much for the kind words. I’m really glad to hear you’re enjoying Twentig!

    As for custom fields like ACF, ACPT, or Meta Box, Twentig should work well alongside those plugins. With newer WordPress features like Block Bindings, it’s already possible to display custom field values, such as ACF fields, directly inside blocks.

    Could you share a bit more about what you feel is missing? I’d love to better understand your use case.

    And yes, Twentig One is also planned for release on wordpress.org.

    Thanks again for the review!

    Hi Yann,

    Block bindings are amazing, but showing the data frontend is still a hassle compared to ACF or ACPT integration. I use custom fields a lot, currently with Kadence or Greenshift blocks. But the way you expanded the native blocks, plenty of sites could be created with your Twentig plugin… except for custom fields.

    I don’t miss much in the theme, and some might be FSE in general:

    • Being able to have the menu on the right on mobile, and the Woo account and cart left of the menu.
    • Being able to have a submenu dropdown without the outline (without css).
    • Being able to have a Woo side-cart with an ‘add more’ button (with editable text and shop url).
    • A popup or side-modal is something I miss (I especially use side-modals a lot). But there are many plugins for that functionality.
    • Being able to have a ‘Back to shop’ button on the Woo checkout page.
    • Being able to add a product to the cart on a single product page and open the side-cart, with no link to the normal cart. To be honest, I try to avoid the normal cart as much as possible; visitors love the side-cart.
    • Being able to adjust the quantity (-/+)of added products on the Woo checkout page.
    • A link in the editor to the CSS code directly would be lovely; I keep searching every time.

    Of course there are enough plugins that have this functionality, but that would mean leaving the superclean, fast setup you created.

    But I really love your theme in general. Some (most) FSE themes are a bit messy/chaotic. Partly that’s on WordPress, but some developers make it even messier. Twentig One is a very clean theme. Thanks! Will be testing your theme with Greenshift blocks now.
