Description
Pattern Wrangler makes managing WordPress block patterns simple and efficient, with features that cater to both beginners and advanced users. Whether you’re organizing patterns for a complex site, a hybrid setup, or just hiding ones you don’t need, Pattern Wrangler has you covered.
Here are the major features:
- Hide All Patterns – Completely hide patterns from the block editor in one click. This also hides the Patterns menu item.
- Selective Hiding – Hide core, remote, theme, or plugin patterns while keeping your custom patterns visible. You can also hide synced and unsynced patterns together or separately.
- Category Management – Disable, map, and rename registered categories from themes and plugins for better organization. This will help you keep local and registered patterns organized together.
- Output Patterns Anywhere – Use a shortcode to display local patterns in page builders, widgets, your theme,or other blocks.
- Pattern Preview – Preview a pattern on the frontend with shortcuts in the block editor or from the Patterns post list view.
- Cross-Site Pattern Copying – Transfer patterns, including the remote images, between WordPress sites effortlessly. This is useful if you’re copying a pattern from one site to another or copying a pattern from a production site to a development site.
Pattern Wrangler integrates seamlessly with block-based and classic themes offering a hybrid setup with unmatched flexibility.

FAQ
-
Can I import Patterns from any WordPress site?
-
Yes! If you have the pattern’s code, Pattern Wrangler can import it and localize any associated images.
-
Can I use Patterns in page builders like Elementor?
-
Yes! You can use the
[wp_block slug="pattern-slug"]shortcode to output block patterns anywhere in your theme or other blocks. -
Does this work with Block Themes?
-
Yes. Although it is designed for hybrid setups, it works with block themes, allowing you to merge theme and plugin-based patterns with your own local patterns stored in your database.
Pattern Wrangler simply makes visible the default
wp_blockpost type and category, which is where local patterns are stored.The Patterns view of this plugin uses the classic Patterns screen, with plans to eventually modernize it and put it on par with the Patterns viewer in the Full-Site Editor.
