Great question 👍 Yup you can - here's a demo of how I add a new paragraph block to an existing pattern and then that is filtered down to each instance where it is used vimeo.com/942033332?share=copy
@@jamiewp Now that's amazing. Very impressive. The styles isn't impressive because that was always possible with CSS classes, but actually adding HTML elements, that's a different story 🙂.
@@jamiewp I am fundamentally component-oriented due to my programming background. Adhering to the principle of not repeating oneself is central to this approach, and components are instrumental in achieving it. Cwicly (sadly now defunct) championed this in the WordPress ecosystem, and other builders are now taking note. Given the corporate enthusiasm for CI, this methodology allows designers to create discrete design elements and assemble them into larger, nested structures. There's no need for guesswork… you can provide clients and their staff with a manual or a set of parts. While the block editor offers considerable flexibility, it unfortunately conflates design with content, representing a step back towards a less clear separation of concerns.
wow! this is amazing. Thanks for sharing. I can see this being super helpful to keep things consistent, and helpful when a client wants to change something in one area of a site so it reflects through the rest. game changer.
Ooh! This is the feature you mentioned in the roundup video isnt it? I cant wait to use this for CTAs - even as a new-to-WP user, I can see how this is awesome.
This and content only/zoomed out mode will game-changing for me as a freelance block theme developer/designer. Finally I will be able to give access to clients without worrying that they break the layout.
brand new to WP. I saw a few videos on Generate PRess and Generate Block editor where they were making adjustments (padding, margins etc) solely for the device like mobile or desktop and these settings only applied when the particular device was selected. 2024 theme doesn't seem to have this. If I make any adjustments like padding, it is carried across all devices. How do we get that kind of device specific adjustments within core WP and 2024? Is that even possible?
Is there some way to have overrides for the Media & Text block so that users can change the image? You can get similar results if you use column blocks, but then you lose the ability to have them stacked on mobile and/or mix them with featured image.
This is so good..... it will make patterns what you might naturally hope them to be. If you take an organised approach to site design this will step change productivity.
Thanks for the video. I knew about the Patterns update but thanks to you I discovered the Synced Pattern Instances plugin which should be in the core of WP IMO. It's perfect to keep track.
About time...this is what patterns/templates shiould have been when they launched. In fact when I first came across templates/patterns this is what I tried to do, and was confused as to why I couldn't edit the style across all instances. It's why I never used patterns, basically.
This is great. A bit like reusable blocks but having the ability to have the design reusable but the content being different. Shame they aren't trackable (yet another plugin - a bit like Find my blocks!) Great Video. Thanks Jamie.
@@jamiewp what I'm still missing is inserting other elements into the "components". Like either having a replaceable placeholder, or truly inserting anything anywhere inside the component. That latter is technically probably riskier to implement. A replaceable placeholder would already work in most cases.
I wonder why they didn't announce? I have been checking regularly... it was sopposed to be released months ago... and i couldnt find any updates... i thought they had punted it.
@@jamiewp awesome thanks! I'm pretty new to WordPress and have bought about getting the Gutenberg plugin, but since it's more of a beta testing ground I'm not sure. Have you ever experienced it breaking anything on your site?
@@jamiewp creating a custom query block is to complicated for my clients. so i want to prepare one as a pattern and then if the customer wants to use for a different purpose like changing the taxonomy settings, this would be awesome
Its a total game changer. Its something that frustrated the hell out of me when I started using Wordpress again.. I couldn't understand why you couldn't create re-usable components but now you can. Thanks for the simple run through.
Don't really understand why this is new? I have synced patterns already and if I change the pattern and save it, it updates everywhere. What am I missing?
please advice me, as a theme ,what is the best ? Generate press or blocksy? And i want to switch from elementor to gutenberg, but i'm between stackable and greenshift. Can you give me some directions ? Best to use or beat to have ?
Is this another Gutenberg thing? For the future, could we have a special mark notifying us that it is a Gutenberg feature. Then those of us not using Gutenberg can just skip it? Seriously - there are a lot of us that are not interested in Gutenberg 🙂
Terminology: Many are miss-using the term Gutneberg. I think you are talking about the "Block Editor" (a misnomer itself, because you are NOT editing blocks, but pages) not "Gutenberg", which is a plugin you can install to test the latest beta version functionality - DO NOT use the Gutenberg plugin on a production site. Cheers 👍
This is a terrible element if the developer installed this feature and did not inform the client about it... Then the content manager fixed something on another page and messed it up on all the other pages. 🥲 The developers of the WP functionality should have taken a more serious approach to the notification that this block is part of a component... Maybe draw some kind of icon...
In the latest version it’s much much clearer as you can’t edit the pattern in the page. It takes you back to the original pattern and makes it clear you are editing the source 👍
![I Replaced ALL my ADOBE APPS with these [free or cheaper] Alternatives!](/img/n.gif)
Can you add a new element to a pattern? For example, can I add a new text element or button and have it show up wherever it’s been used?

@@ReubenHochstetler Yup agreed 👍

Absolutely! I advocated strongly for this feature, and it's fantastic to see it now integrated natively in WordPress (going forward).
Would love to hear what use cases you are particular going to use this for Max?

Great update Jamie 🥳 Thanks for the great demonstration of the new functionality 👍🏻
Cool, thanks for watching 🙏
Awesome! Can't wait to implement it on my webnsite!
Me too 👍
Awesome, is there something similar on elementor or Divi?
Thanks - I don't think there is, but if anyone knows for sure, please post a comment 👍

@@jamiewp This is more like "design on rails" would you say?
Yes, you DO change how we see WP and our space for creativity. Keep going!! (naturally, subscribed and give a thumb each time when I learn a new)
That was a great summary. Yes, I think this is a great leap in progress. Flexibility is what we need in a builder.
Thank you 🙏 yup it makes it very flexible 👍
to me, it's the most impressive update to Core in years
100% agree :)

Thanks to you, we are quick to know some really amazing updates without putting so much time to read and test the new things. Kudos to you 🙏

Thanks for sharing, Jamie. Have a good weekend.
Thanks Paul - you too 😃
Checking this out tonight..
Let me know what you think - i'm especially interested on how you will use it irl.
super helpful demo. I need to shift my thinking from page templates to components
👍

Thanks for the tip, Gutenberg is getting so great! I so share your enthusiasm 🥳
Great to hear 👍
Thanks
👍👍
MERCI de votre partage

Nice one Jamie... When patterns were announced a while back, I had a feeling it would become a key feature to watch out for.
Yup they seem a great way to abstract how to create maintainable websites in a CMS.
yes it's needed.
Yup for me it's vital

Are you working on a full website tutorial ?
Not quite yet, but it's on my list ;)
Does anyone know when this will be available for other blocks, including custom blocks, such as those from Kadence or Greenshift?
No eta atm, but I'll keep my eye on things.
Super cool! When does this launch? This is one feature I've been waiting for and would love to start using it but I don't see it yet.
It's available right now if you install the Gutenberg plugin, and is slated to come into core when WordPress 6.6 is released in July.
@@jamiewp awesome thanks! I'm pretty new to WordPress and have bought about getting the Gutenberg plugin, but since it's more of a beta testing ground I'm not sure. Have you ever experienced it breaking anything on your site?
THANK YOU!!! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!! PEACE :)
You too :)
This is going to be great for allowing clients to only be able to edit certain parts.
Yup 👍
Very cool. Thanks for sharing
👍
Nope, they got delayed till WP 6.6 due for July 2024. Took me 2 hours to realise why I couldn't find the button ...
Yup I explained that in the video
@@jamiewp Have watched this video 4 or 5 times, but never really made it to the end so totally missed that ...
Finally a great WP core update!
Agreed!
Thank you so much
My pleasure 😇
does it only work with text and images or for instance also with any setting in query block?
What’s the use case you are thinking of for the query loop block?
@@jamiewp creating a custom query block is to complicated for my clients. so i want to prepare one as a pattern and then if the customer wants to use for a different purpose like changing the taxonomy settings, this would be awesome
@@nicbug4861 cool idea 👍
Is there an auto layout in Wordpress similar to Figma or Webflow?
Not yet, but it's a nice idea
Its a total game changer. Its something that frustrated the hell out of me when I started using Wordpress again.. I couldn't understand why you couldn't create re-usable components but now you can. Thanks for the simple run through.
Yup absolutely 👍
Don't really understand why this is new? I have synced patterns already and if I change the pattern and save it, it updates everywhere. What am I missing?

What’s the project and spec?
@@jamiewp let s say just small to mid level website, no woocomerce,
This is actually not available on WordPress yet
It’s not in core , but is available in the Gutenberg plugin (as I explained in the video 👍)
Is this the same as sync and unsync patterns?
Nope this is new and additional functionality
@@jamiewp but what is the difference? I think we need new video about 6.5+ wp functionality
Subscribed to feed the cat
Thank you 🙏 There are actually two cats so could you ask a friend to subscribe as well please 🙏🙃😉
What's the difference between that and simply making your pattern synced, or not synced?
You can override certain aspects of it 👍
That remind me Symbols on Flash... (Don't I look young for my age? ).
😂
What is a patton?
A pattern is a collection of Blocks
Useful for CPTs when you don’t want authors messing about with the order of components.
Absolutely 👍
BBC.
Cached page content works too?
Yup its no different to any other content in that regard
bueno! danke!
👍
Really good content! :_)

@@Dougster123 It's coming into WordPress core 👍
@@Dougster123 Gutenberg is not a plugin. It is the default editor of WP. It is part of WP.
@@jamiewp So, if it is a WP thing, can it be used by all the other page builders out there? Or is it a Gutenberg thing?
