Classic Menu Sync for Block bridges the gap between classic WordPress menus and the new Navigation block system. This plugin allows you to:
- Sync Navigation blocks with classic menus — Keep your navigation blocks updated with your classic menu changes

- Block Editor integration — Easy-to-use controls directly in the Navigation block sidebar
Perfect for sites transitioning from classic themes to block themes, or for developers who want to maintain both classic and block-based navigation systems.
Key Features
- Zero configuration — Works out of the box
- Performance optimized — Uses WordPress native functions
- Developer friendly — Clean, well-documented code
- Translation ready — Full internationalization support
- Secure — Follows WordPress security best practices
