Bulk-Updating Block Patterns?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Is it possible to retro-actively update all gutenberg blocks built via a Block Pattern at once?

    As far as I can tell, first you create a block pattern and then you add the block pattern to a page and customise the content.

    However, if you then update the block pattern, the page you previously created won’t update with it as well. Only new blocks created from that updated pattern will include the updates.

    If this is not possible, is there another core feature of Gutenberg that I have missed that lets you create structured block(s) that when updated, all instances follow suit?

    I’m trying to avoid removing Gutenberg all-together and resort to using the Classic Editor Plugin and ACF Field to build a much more locked down & structured theme.

    I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

    Hello again, it sounds like you want Reusable blocks. What’s the address of the site you’re working on?

    If you are indeed using the open source WordPress software hosted on 3rd party hosting, like Bluehost, Dreamhost and the like, you’ll find more information about working with that software at https://wordpress.org/support/

    Here’s more info on Reusable blocks on ORG https://wordpress.org/support/article/reusable-blocks/

    Hope that helps. If by chance you aren’t talking about a site using the ORG software, please share your site address.
