Thank you! * About the tabs: * – I definitely like the main tabs. – I might need some time to get used to the secondary tabs, they seem to overwhelm me a bit. But at the same time they work as expected. * I think the toggles are somewhat big and colorful in comparison to the rest of the UI. They draw a lot of attention. * Just my two cents 🙂 Thanks for your work! - This reply was modified 3 years, 6 months ago by [Erik Joling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ejoling/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 6 months ago by [Erik Joling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ejoling/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[No Nonsense] Feature request: allow developers to extend or change the options](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-allow-developers-to-extend-or-change-the-options/) * Thread Starter [Erik Joling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ejoling/) * (@ejoling) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-allow-developers-to-extend-or-change-the-options/#post-15837567) * I just tested the filters in my theme again, this time with No Nonsense v2.40.

But you might hook your plugin functions to a later hook, so themes can use them. * The first hook available for themes is `after_setup_theme`, that might work. Or use the `init`-hook.

I’m patiently waiting for the next update 🙂 * > Are you thinking you’d want to have a way to add more items to the settings > page so you’d be able to turn your options on and off? * Yes, exactly this. Imagine you as the developer of this plugin don’t want to include the feature to disable core blockpatterns. With a hook I would have the possibility to add it myself. * I haven’t really dived into the architecture of your code, so I don’t know how complicated it might be. But I’ll gladly help.
