WordPress Block Patterns

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Creating reusable block layouts for themes
• Building a pattern library
• Registering patterns programmatically
• Working with synced (reusable) patterns
• Setting up pattern categories

Pattern Basics

Block patterns are pre-designed block layouts users can insert with one click. Two types:

1. Unsynced patterns - Independent copies inserted each time
2. Synced patterns - Global patterns that update everywhere when changed

File-Based Patterns (Recommended)
