Tutorial: Adding Starter Page and Template Patterns #194

Closed justintadlock closed 5 months ago

justintadlock commented 6 months ago

Discussed in https://github.com/WordPress/developer-blog-content/discussions/180

Originally posted by **justintadlock** December 12, 2023 Currently, there is little documentation for adding Starter Page Patterns and Starter Template Patterns. There are plans to add docs for these in the Theme Handbook: https://github.com/WordPress/Documentation-Issue-Tracker/issues/816 But it will likely be a bit before those are written and published. In the meantime, it'd be great to introduce them here on the Dev Blog. The Twenty Twenty-Four theme also includes some starter patterns, so it might mean a good chance to show off what the theme is capable of too. **Starter Page Patterns** are patterns that appear when creating a new page (can also be used for any post type), allowing the user to choose a pattern to start from. **Starter Template Patterns** are patterns that are available when a user creates a new template of that type in the Site Editor. It's possible that we could even split this into two separate tutorials.

Want to know how Twenty Twenty-Four shows a "Choose a pattern" modal when adding a new page? It's actually a built-in WordPress feature that you can use in your themes. Find out how in this tutorial from the Developer Blog:
