Awesome video like WP 6.5

[@joukenienhuis6888]

Thank you for your very clear explanation. I hope these changes will be applied soon to the normal WordPress version, because i am not that much fan of experimental versions(i forget they are experimental). Your explanation is clear, bit going fast, luckily i can repeat everything 😁. I only do not understand patterns. I thought they were a kind of templates to put in a page a a part of a page and you can do everything with it on that page. But i understand now that patterns are synced and with a fixed content and you have to unsync it on a page to have a different content ?

[@wproads]

Hi, yes al the features you see in the video will most likely end up in to WordPress core when the 6.5 version will be released (March 26). Patterns are actually "sections" of content that you can add to any page. You have synced patterns that will update globally in all the website, unsynced patterns that you can use individually and partially synced patterns as you see in the video. You can use partially synced patterns to have a synced pattern in which you can change the content based on the page you are in, without losing the syncing of the styles and the other options of the synced block. You also got "Template Parts" that are used for example to create global Header, Footer, Sidebar and other template elements.

​@@wproadsThank you again for the explanation. I get the pattern/section part now. As a amateur website builder i get confused by the template parts. Because you can also build a section as a template part. So when do you need to create a pattern and when a template parts?

[@wproads]

​@@joukenienhuis6888 from what I can understand at the present state of things, patterns are becoming like the foundation structures for all Full Site Editing websites. The only difference between patterns and template parts is that template parts are patterns to which you assign a specific "template" role, example: header, footer, etc. and they only work with Full Site Editing themes (and not with classic themes like Blocksy, Kadence, Astra, etc.). Since everything is evolving quite fast, there is still a bit of confusion on naming and functionalities but it will become more and more clear after each release.

If the group block can have an image, why would we need a cover block?

[@wproads]

In the cover block you have more settings than the standard group block: you can adjust the background image, add overlay effects, dynamically load the featured image, add a video bg, etc. maybe in the future they will merge this two blocks together, who knows.
