Nested Pages with Gutenberg Navigation Block which has its own re-usable menus
-
First a short recap of developments in 2022
? WordPress 5.9 Josephine (2022-01-25) introduced Full Site Editing.? The Site Editor and specifically its Template Editor allow you to create and design every aspect of your WordPress Site with blocks in so called Block themes.
? Also the header and its navigation by help of the native Navigation Block. That Gutenberg navigation block creates its own re-usable menus which are not backward compatible with the re-usable menus which themes used so far. In the era before block themes, re-usable menus were accessible to the user at: Appearance > Menus/wp-admin/nav-menus.php. If you activate a block theme that menu entry is no more available.
? In the Gutenberg Navigation block there is an option to import legacy menus. But that’s a oneshot. From then on the new Gutenberg re-usable menu has its own lifecycle. No sync anymore.
In light of these changes: What’s the future of the Nested Pages plugin?
? Do you plan to support syncing page hierarchy to that new Gutenberg Navigation Block re-usable menus?

Big advantage of a classical menu
- Can get created/synced automatically/programmatically
- e.g. with Nested Pages ‘s ?? Sync menu function.
How to integrate a classical menu into a Block Theme
(one possibility I found, possibly more exist or will be made)- 1) Menu “Nested Pages” gets auto-updated from page hierarchy
- 2) Install & activate plugin Max Mega Menu.
- a) Dashboard > Mega Menu > Menu Locations
- b) Create at least 1 menu location in Max Mega Menu and there position your “Nested Pages” menu.
- c) Now the section “Menu Locations” lists the new item > Open it > General Settings > Set “Enabled” to ON.
- 3) Now the section “Menu Locations” lists the new item > Open it > General Settings > Set “Enabled” to ON.
- a) Insert the Max Mega Menu block (currently has a bug which renders it falsely in the Site Editor but output in frontend is ok, confident this will get fixed)
- b) Insert a generic shortcode block and there paste the appropriate max mega menu shortcode.
