Blocks and Patterns 

Blocks 

Blocks are the components used in the theme for adding content to the posts/pages. The Ornate Decor themes come with several blocks that you can use to add text, media assets, and layout components, allowing you more freedom to create content. 

To get access to the Block, you can follow the steps below: 

  • Go to Pages and choose your desired page.

It will display a list of blocks available. You can use the appropriate block that suits your site requirements. For example, you can use the Site Title block to add the site title to the header area. 

Patterns 

In WordPress, Patterns refer to the combination of Blocks. Meanwhile, the Blocks are components for creating and editing elements in a WordPress post or page. The combination of various blocks makes the patterns, which, after inserting them on your site, allows you to fully customize it with your content to make it unique. 

Ornate Decor themes come with 13 pre-built patterns by default. You can choose the one that fits your site and customize it accordingly. Once you have installed and activated the theme, you will see a set-up pattern on your front end. You can either edit or remove it by replacing the other available patterns.
