Block Patterns are a collection of designed core blocks that can be used in posts and pages. They are building blocks to get content created faster. Eg: a subscription form, a Call-to-Action, or a Price List.

The Block Pattern Directory has a myriad of block patterns that work with any site. Themes can reference patterns from the Directory, without loading them with the theme on every site. This helps to share block patterns from one site to the next.
It is now possible for designers, site builders, and site owners to share their creations with the world and submit their best designs to the Block Pattern Directory. This is a great way where #nocode contributors can share their creations with the WordPress community, in addition to the WordPress Photo Directory.
How to submit a Block Pattern
Before your start, check out the guidelines for successfully submitting your pattern.
- Keep placeholder content to a minimum, a few lines will be enough to demonstrate most blocks.
- Use a descriptive name for your pattern. Names like “Test” or “My Pattern” will be declined.
Here is how to create a new Pattern and submit it to the Block Pattern Directory:
