New Patterns: Headers, Footers, Link in Bio, and More
The newest additions to our Pattern library include headers and footers, link-in-bio designs, and more.
Have you used Patterns on your site yet?
These prebuilt, customizable templates combine professionally-designed blocks for specific uses like stylized quotes, contact page layouts, and product listings. But that’s just the beginning. All told, we have more than 260 Patterns you can insert into your pages and posts at the press of a button.
If you’ve never used Patterns before, they’re like any other site element: Access them by hitting the “+” button at the top left of the page or post you’re working on, then selecting the “Patterns” tab. You can also click on the “Explore” button to bring up our entire library of Patterns, organized by category.
Think of them as sophisticated slices of web design for your posts and pages. You can drop them in as-is, or customize them to your liking. Even better, we’re adding more all the time.
Here are just a few of the most recent arrivals to the Pattern library.
Headers and Footers
One of the most common questions our Happiness Engineers hear from users is how to customize a site’s header and footer areas. One way to easily and efficiently do that? Patterns. Note: Be sure to add these patterns to your header and footer template parts, which are found in the Site Editor (Appearance → Editor). A single update or change here will apply across all pages.
Link in Bio Patterns
We’ve added a number of stunning Patterns for your link-in-bio pages and sites. Pick one, customize as desired, add your links, and you’ve got a brand new way to let your readers know what’s new.
Explore All of Our Patterns!
Even if you don’t have a specific need in mind, take a look around the full Patterns library. Galleries, contact pages, subscribe boxes, quotes: with so many options, you’re sure to find something that adds a fresh new wrinkle to your site.
Patterns can be an incredibly useful resource for your design toolbox. Customize, experiment, and turn inspiration into eye-catching reality.
If you need help with Patterns, check out our more detailed guide.
And be sure to let us know in the comments how you’ve used Patterns on your site and any ideas you have for new ones. We’re always working on more — so stay tuned!

Hi Adam, the problem I am having is that I am able to login using my current email address and password on iPad or iPhone but it does not work on my PC. The reply I am getting is that my account does not exist. I don’t think changing my password will help in this case.

Thank you!! I found that sometimes WP shows changes we can make with PlugIns, but I “think” you need to have a Business Plan to use the Plug-Ins. Are the patterns similar to the Plug-Ins? Are Plug-Ins more advanced. I’m confused.

@brilliantviewpoint – Block patterns are not plugins – they’re patterns you can use with any block-based theme on any plan level. You can read more about them here:
https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/block-pattern/
Plugins are tools that add extra features to your WordPress site – those are the things you need to upgrade to a Business plan to use:

I hope that clarifies things!
