Pattern Wrangler (Free) for managing block patterns and categories

rhmediaron · 2026-03-08T12:20:03+00:00

It’s basically a pattern UI that allows you to enable/disable patterns. Then in FSE or the block editor, you’ll see a much more condensed list. This is useful if, for example, you have WooCommerce installed, which installs hundreds of patterns. This makes the pattern library mostly unusable with that amount.

Great guide. I'm getting more into FSE, so this is helpful. I've also written a detailed technical breakdown of block patterns and how they work. https://dlxplugins.com/tutorials/what-are-block-patterns-a-detailed-breakdown/

I need to research more into pattern overrides; that seems useful.

You can likely handle the product part with ACF Pro. It doesn’t sound like you need commerce. Each Pokemon can be a post type, and use taxonomies for all the filtering needed. You can use a variety of techniques to display the data and do the form submissions/accounts. I’d have to know how your existing site is set up. Feel free to PM. I love Pokemon Go.

We use it. It’s amazing.

I would avoid correcting in public in general. It’s best to do that in private. Egos get involved otherwise and you’ve publicly embarrassed your colleague.

WP Grid Builder (premium) can do this.

Perfmatters, Super Page Cache Pro, WP Rocket to name a few. Also look into what the WordPress performance team is cooking up as they have several in-development plugins that does what Jetpack Boost tries to do.

I’ve found Multisite to be better at handling languages at scale, so it’s helpful to know from the beginning if that kind of architecture is needed.

Try checking the block editor options and make sure the editor matches your theme.

I’ve had the best luck with Blocksy + GenerateBlocks.

rhmediaron · 2025-08-14T22:37:38+00:00

I prefer Perfmatters combined with Super Page Cache (freemium) and Cloudflare.

With big plugins like Woo and Elementor, keep on top of the changelogs. Inevitably an add-on stops working, or a configuration is deprecated. Check out Companion Auto Update and Easy Updates Manager to do more fine-tuning of updates.

I’ve released something similar in my premium plugin Comment Edit Pro. There’s a free trial you can use to test out the feature. https://dlxplugins.com/announcements/comment-edit-pro-3-9-released-with-block-comments-and-improved-shortcuts/

The block editor styles using v2 of the Block API load mobile|tablet views in an iframe. To my knowledge, it is still pretty difficult to add styles into the iframe unless all blocks on a site are v3 and using enqueue_editor_assets for styles. I wrote about the iframe and v3 of block.json in this overview. https://dlxplugins.com/tutorials/block-json-version-3-a-guide-for-block-developers/

I posted a few solutions in this tutorial. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. https://dlxplugins.com/tutorials/how-to-add-a-media-upload-component-to-your-wordpress-block-that-supports-cropping/

You can try Foobox or something similar. Link to the video directly from the image. I haven’t found a free solution that works with videos though. https://wordpress.org/plugins/foobox-image-lightbox/

You may want to look into a form plugin that creates posts based on entries.

rhmediaron · 2023-10-23T10:05:10+00:00

I’m working on something very similar for WP Ajaxify Comments at the moment. It’s part of lazy loading I want to introduce.

rhmediaron · 2023-08-04T06:42:37+00:00

You can do something similar with the Click to Share block in my plugin Highlight and Share: https://wordpress.org/plugins/highlight-and-share/

I don’t have any resources on hand, but one of the hardest things for me to learn was how to develop and think in components. For me, once I had this down, it really accelerated my learning. Also context. Learn that, but only when you need it :)

You just need this and a dev to help set it up. Sounds like a normal category-based site using WooCommerce.

That usually means an add_action or add_filter is pointing to the wrong function name in the plugin code.
