November 17, 2021 — „Block Patterns” sind vordefinierte Kombinationen verschiedener Gutenberg-Blöcke, die sehr einfach eingefügt und angepasst werden können. Diese, im August 2020 mit WordPress 5.5 eingeführten, Block Patterns lassen sich in veränderten Form weiter verwenden.

Er zeigte uns, wie somit die redaktionellen Möglichkeiten des CMS voll umfänglich, für ein leichtes, schnelles Einstellen wiederkehrender und anpassbarer Inhalte, effektives ausgegenutzt werden können.

Hans-Gerd erstellte mittels einem Plugin zunächst einen Block Pattern, welcher dann später auf der Webseite wiederverwendet werden kann.

Im zweiten Teil zeigte er, wie man einen Block Pattern durch entsprechende Bearbeitung des Codes erstellt. hierzu wird der Code in die functions.php eines Child Theme geschrieben oder als Snippet im Plugin Code Snippets gespeichert.
