 Hi, and welcome to Learn WordPress. Let's have a closer look at using block patterns. Block patterns might just become one of your favorite tools within WordPress. You will have access to adding pre-made designs directly into your site. Block patterns are basically layouts of group blocks ready for the picking. It will essentially save you time but also enhance creativity and design. Instead of nesting and grouping blocks together, patterns have already done that for you. And in one click, you will have access to beautiful and functional layouts from call to actions, headers, columns, galleries, and more. To add a pattern, click on the plus icon top left, also called the insertter, and open the patterns tab on the right next to blocks. They are organized into a variety of categories to help you find what you need. Once you click on the category, you will see a preview of all the available patterns. And then you can just scroll down. You can also select explore all patterns at the bottom to get a bird's eye view of the patterns that come with your theme. And you can also go through them category by category. Let's look at a quick example. When you select a pattern, in this case one from my featured category, you will be able to modify the pattern to meet your design requirements. It can easily be edited in the same way as any other block. So once I've changed my heading, I can replace the images and, for example, change the background color of my group block. Some blocks, such as the query loop block, have patterns built into the settings of the block. So when you add your query loop block, it says you can choose a pattern for the query loop or start blank. So if you click on choose, you will be able to scroll through all the available patterns. And when you find the pattern you are looking for, you can merely click on it and it will insert into your page. And now you can go ahead and modify it according to your needs. The patterns that come with your theme are limited. If you want more patterns to choose from, you can explore the block pattern directory. And to do that, let's make our way to the WordPress.org website. Hover over download and extend and click on patterns. Here you can search and find new patterns to use on your website. You can type in the search block, search via categories, or browse to all the available options until you find what you are looking for. Once you find the pattern you were after, you can merely click on copy, return to your website and paste it into your page or post. And now we can start modifying it. And this is what my pattern looks like after altering it to meet my design needs. When you make your way to the site editor to set up your templates, you also have header and footer patterns at your disposal. Templates create a design for a web page, and this is usually done by adding header and footer template parts. So when you select the current header and click on the three vertical dots and then on replace header, you will notice there are various patterns to choose from. And once you find a pattern you like, you can just click on it and it will insert into your template. And now you can keep this pattern as is or use it as a base to work from. And now we can do exactly the same for the footer. Select the footer, click on the three vertical dots and select replace footer. And then choose a footer pattern that works for you. In this case, I'm going to select the footer called footer with background color and three columns. You can also add a new header or footer template part. And in this case, let's add a new header template part. Name it appropriately. In this case, I will just call it example header and then click create. And now we can add a header and then select one of the patterns. You will notice at the top it says existing template parts, ones we've already created but if you scroll down, you will notice some patterns that you can choose from. And then I will select a pattern that appeals to me. We trust patterns will help you save loads of time and also spark new design ideas. Visit Learn WordPress for more tutorials and training material.
