The Pattern Directory has been updated with a new filter to switch between core-bundled patterns (“Curated”) and the general community patterns. Combined with the change, the homepage & category pages default to showing the core-bundled patterns. Community patterns can be seen by switching the filter in the dropdown. Search results and author pages still show all patterns.
This change also prepares to support the Pattern Explorer in the editor. It’s still in progress, but it will be possible to search through community-submitted patterns directly from the editor. You can follow the work on the pattern explorer issue.
For more details about the filter change, check out the issue to add the filters on GitHub.
Filters in the future
Work continues on the WordPress.org redesign, including the Pattern Directory. The filters and results grid will evolve through the redesign, and discussion is welcome. For example, themes could create pattern bundles, so you could filter patterns by theme. If you have suggestions, the Pattern Directory GitHub is the best place to discuss them.
