Hide and Disable Patterns

Quickly wrangle your categories by disabling Core and Remote patterns.

Quickly hide all patterns or prevent them from loading from WordPress Core, remotely via the Patterns Library, from a specific registered category, or from a plugin or theme.

Hide Core and Remote Patterns

Default Patterns View in WordPress

By default, WordPress allows Core and remote patterns. Core patterns are patterns that come with WordPress itself. Remote patterns are those that come in the Block Pattern Directory.

Hide Core and Remote Patterns

Disabling Core patterns will remove a large number of patterns and categories, which should make things easier to manage.

Core and Remote Patterns Disabled

Disable remote patterns if you don't want anyone accidentally installing a third-party pattern or a pattern that doesn't meet the design. Remote patterns can also significantly slow down the pattern search in terms of loading.

Hide Theme or Plugin Patterns

Hide Patterns Coming From Your Theme or Plugins

If you've installed a theme and don't fancy its patterns, that's fine. You can disable them.

If you prefer patterns not come from any plugins, such as WooCommerce, you can disable them here as well.
