New for WordPress websites - pattern

WordPress design doesn't stand still, and a lot has happened lately in terms of WordPress build. With the block editor on the frontend, it's easy to edit a website in a visual way without having to install a separate editor. With this functionality, we naturally have website builders like Wix and Squarespace taking market share from WordPress. With the new full site editor, it is now also possible to use existing patterns or download and use patterns that have already been created. In this blog post, let's take a look at how this works.

What are the WordPress patterns?

WordPress patterns are patterns that can be used on your website. They are not complete themes or plugins, but bite-sized pieces that you can use on your website with the new editor. With a simple cut and paste, you can use a pattern in your website. Even without using the visual editor, but just using the normal editor. Below is a more detailed description of how it works.

Patterns are maintained and approved before they appear in the library, so you can be sure they will work. And there is some control so that no bad things are processed in them. There are many different patterns, and this list is expected to grow significantly this year.

Using WordPress patterns in your WordPress website

It is very easy to use the new patterns in your WordPress website, just visit the following public library:

https://wordpress.org/patterns/

And search for a pattern or browse to find what you need. When you find it, just click on it and then select the option to copy the pattern by clicking on the blue Copy Pattern button. After that, go to a post or page on your existing WordPress website, open a new block and paste it. You can do this by pressing CTRL + V or by selecting it from the mouse menu.

After that, all you have to do is edit the patterns to your liking. So enter the data as usual in WordPress. Replace the images with your logos and images if needed. This way you can put the pattern on your website in no time and without any problems. And you will have something ready, where otherwise you will have a boring block or take a long time to design it according to your taste. Patterns are therefore a godsend for anyone who wants to make their website beautiful quickly and easily. And all this without typing a single line of code. Ideal for anyone who wants to get started with their WordPress website in a visual way.

Create WordPress patterns and share them with others

The great thing about WordPress patterns is that they can also be shared. Currently, there are only a few designers who do this. However, this will be made up for at a later date. And by means of a voting system, the most popular among them will be brought to the top. Over time, there will probably be some changes to the patterns. But since this is a new launch, we'll have to wait and see.

To create your own WordPress pattern, you can sign up through the same website. After approval, you can then also share them in the library. This way you can contribute to this library and bring your work to the forefront.
