WordPress.com Special Projects Pattern Library

Using block patterns

If you want to use these block patterns, download and install the Team 51 Pattern Inserter plugin. This will automatically add all block patterns to your site.

Adding block patterns to the library

Members of the WordPress.com Special Projects Team, please use the private patterns library to register the new block.

Community members can also add a block pattern by following these steps:

• Create a new branch to work with. The branch name should be: add/{block-slug}
• Export the block pattern to JSON from the Patterns page on WP Admin (<your-site>/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wp_block). If you're registering the pattern in code, convert the pattern information into a JSON object. The indexes in the $pattern_properties parameter of the register_block_pattern() function should directly transfer to the JSON object.
• Remove any site-specific content from the JSON file. If you need to include a placeholder image, you use Placehold for them. (For example, a 600x500 placeholder image can be accessed at https://placehold.co/600x500 .)
• Insert the JSON file into the appropriate category folder. If you need to create a new category, create the folder and also a metadata.json file using this format:

{
	"title": "{Category Title}"
}

• Create a PR. Once it has been reviewed and merged, the block pattern will be automatically released and available to the Team 51 Pattern Inserter plugin in a few minutes.
