Pattern Wrangler

Pattern Wrangler makes managing WordPress block patterns easy, and is designed for both hybrid classic/block themes, block themes, and is compatible with most page builders through its shortcode support. Pattern Wrangler allows you to curate the pattern experience for your clients, controlling down to the pattern what the client sees in the block editor.

Here are the major features:

New Patterns Screen – A new Patterns screen now shows at a glance all of the patterns available for your site. You can sort through both local and registered patterns, and selectively disable or enable whatever patterns you’d like your client to see. A real-time preview is available by clicking on the pattern.

Hide All Patterns – Completely hide patterns from the block editor in one click. This also hides the Patterns menu item. Selective Hiding – Hide core, remote, theme, or plugin patterns while keeping your custom patterns visible. You can also hide synced and unsynced patterns together or separately. If you need to hide WooCommerce patterns, you can do so by hiding all plugin patterns, or using the Patterns View to disable the patterns individually.

Category Management – Disable, map, and rename registered categories from themes and plugins for better organization. This will help you keep local and registered patterns organized together. For example, you’d like to create a “Call to Action” category for a local pattern, but a registered category already exists, do you have a duplicate in the patterns view. In this case, map the registered category to the local one and remove the duplicate.

Output Patterns Anywhere – Use a shortcode or PHP function to display local patterns in page builders, widgets, your theme, or in other blocks. This works well in Multisite and allows you to use synced patterns across the network.

Pattern Preview – Preview a pattern on the frontend with shortcuts in the block editor.
