If you are a WordPress user or have been dabbling into WordPress, you already know that WP comes with the Gutenberg editor<\/a>\u4e00an editor that helps you design pages and content within WordPress themes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Utilizing the editor is quite intuitive; Gutenberg allows you to use the drag and drop method to add media inside each block. A block is a pre-made item that can be regular text, an image, a video, a widget, a button, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, you might not have heard about the Gutenberg block patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we are going to discuss WordPress block patterns\u4e00why and when they can come in handy, and why the last few themes we published came with numerous pre-made block patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are WordPress block patterns exactly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Block patterns are pre-made patterns that consist of several Gutenberg blocks<\/strong>. The patterns are usually created by designers and developers that work on the themes, but you can also make them yourself.

If you are unsure what we mean by block patterns, just browse through the WordPress Patterns directory<\/a> and you\u2019ll get an idea of what they look like and how you can use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s so special about WordPress block patterns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In March 2020, Justin Tadlock<\/a>, Writer at WPTavern and WordPress theme developer, published a post titled Block Patterns Will Change Everything<\/a>. In the post, Tadlock explained the issue WordPress users have been facing for a while: although the Gutenberg editor was a step in the right direction, using it was not intuitive enough for those new to WordPress. WP users simply could not make their sites look like the ones in the theme demos<\/strong>, and themes documentation wasn’t always helpful. And WordPress block patterns successfully resolved this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why should you use WordPress block patterns (and the themes that are filled with patterns)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are three main reasons why you should try WordPress block patterns.

The first one is that you will, undoubtedly, save time<\/strong>. Instead of adding each block and editing it manually, you can add several of them, with just one click.

The second reason is that you can trust patterns when creating the website<\/strong>. The patterns are most commonly created by professional designers. Using the pre-made patterns means that you don\u2019t have to think about page design and which WordPress blocks go together; you can just use the ones the professionals created for you. And by doing so, you will be one step closer to creating a high-converting website.

And the third reason is that you can use them anywhere on your website<\/strong>. You can use the same pattern on multiple pages, and different website areas. Simply put, WordPress block patterns allow you to create content throughout your website without having to start from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do all Themes Kingdom themes come with WordPress block patterns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The last three themes in our vault do\u4e00Noctua<\/a>, Aspicio<\/a>, Bonum<\/a>, Gamos<\/a>, Loqui<\/a>, and Nuptia<\/a>.

The previously mentioned themes come with several groups of block patterns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
