Pattern Library With Ollie Theme and WooCommerce Installed, Showing 195 Patterns
Patterns can quickly get out of control in the Block Editor without you having to do much aside from installing a popular theme or plugin. Block Patterns can come from a variety of sources, so knowing them in advance can be a guessing game when disabling, say, all theme patterns. Hiding these patterns individually may be the solution.
Taming these patterns selectively is easy, and I’ll show you how. Within this “How To,” I’ll show you how to use Pattern Wrangler to hide some of these block patterns.
First, Install the Free Pattern Wrangler Plugin
In your WordPress dashboard, head to Plugins->Add New and search for “Pattern Wrangler.” Go ahead and install and activate the plugin.
