Full Site Editing

Full Site Editing (FSE) is a feature in WordPress that allows users to edit and customize entire web pages using a visual interface, instead of just individual blocks or elements. FSE has been controversial in the WordPress community because it represents a significant departure from the traditional WordPress editing experience, which has been focused on individual blocks and widgets. Despite the controversy, FSE become a core feature in WordPress 5.9.

Patterns

WordPress patterns are pre-designed groups of blocks that can be used to quickly and easily create custom page layouts in WordPress. Patterns are essentially reusable templates that include a set of predefined blocks, styles, and configurations that can be used to build complex page designs without having to start from scratch.

Patterns can be accessed through the WordPress block editor, which is a visual drag-and-drop interface for building and editing content in WordPress. Users can browse and select from a library of pre-built patterns, or create their own custom patterns using the block editor. Patterns are designed to be highly customizable, so users can easily adjust the layout, styles, and content of a pattern to fit their specific needs.

Patterns were introduced in WordPress 5.5 as part of the Block Patterns feature, which is intended to make it easier for users to create rich, dynamic page layouts using the WordPress block editor. Block Patterns have been well-received by the WordPress community, with many developers and users praising the flexibility and ease-of-use they provide.

Overall, WordPress patterns are a powerful tool for creating custom page layouts in WordPress, and they can help users save time and effort by providing pre-designed templates that can be easily customized to fit their specific needs.
