Preview patterns on the frontend
Last updated
The built-in Patterns post type in WordPress doesn't have a frontend preview by default.
With Pattern Wrangler, you can launch a preview from the Patterns screen, or from the block editor. Pattern Wrangler does its best to match your theme when displaying the pattern and is compatible with Full-site Editing (Block) themes.
For those not using block themes, authoring patterns involves a lot of trial and error in coordinating the block editor's appearance with the actual frontend appearance.
The default pattern experience doesn't provide a preview, so we've built one in. It also works well with block themes.
Behind the scenes, we're loading most of the theme's styles, but trying to preserve the pattern's layout and structure. It should provide a close approximation of how a pattern will behave when inserted or displayed on your site.
For security reasons, only those with publish_posts permissions can preview patterns.
