Last year we launched the Block Pattern Directory, a curated selection of beautiful and useful block patterns hosted on WordPress.org and usable directly from the post editor in any WordPress site.
Soon we plan to open the Pattern Directory to submissions from the public. The Pattern Creator page will allow designers and content creators to build, edit, and submit their best block patterns to the directory. Approved patterns will be added to the directory, where they will be instantly available to the authors of millions of WordPress sites.
The Pattern Creator is expected to launch next week. In the meantime, we’d like to invite designers, theme developers, and anyone else who loves creating block patterns, to help test the submission process and start submitting and publishing patterns early. If creating and sharing block patterns with the whole world sounds like something you’d love to do, you can get started now.
Information for other community teams:
- Docs: there’s an issue about docs for the creator. cc +make.wordpress.org/docs/
- Design: submit your best patterns. cc +make.wordpress.org/design/
- Themes: if you’d like to see the moderation and approval process we can arrange that. cc +make.wordpress.org/themes/
The Pattern Directory is open source. You can participate in its development in the pattern-directory GitHub repository. Suggestions and feedback are welcome on GitHub or in comments on this post. Please report any issues you find by filling out a bug report.
