who to delete block patterns in wordpress 6.7

Hi @mdquer

you can see which patterns you have installed or created by going to the “Site Editor > Pattern” screen and then click the “My patterns” option in the sidebar — that option is only available if you have any pattern of your own.

Those are the only patterns you can delete. I just tested and everything works fine for the patterns under “My patterns” —?no matter how I created them.

The rest of the patterns are provided by the theme and, as a user, you cannot delete them.

Thank you for the answer.
When i have a custom block theme, and i have installed a template-part: general eg. template-part: header-5 as general. And this is in the block theme files.
And i want to change this to template-part: header instead.

Is there a simple possibility to do so ?

I tried: duplicate this general template part: header-5. Then rename it :header-for-sites and choose – template-part: header.
Now i have this new template-part: header-for-sites which is now under Headers, and header-5 which ist now under General. But they are the same.
It is my custom block theme. But i cant delete this template-part: general header-5. Only duplicate an rename.

And then delete this header-5 under parts in the block theme files. Then give the page.html the new header-for-sites. It does not work. When i delet it in the theme files, everything is crap.

So i think it is does not matter, if the template part ist under general instead of header. ???♀???????

i have found the issue: i have to delcare the header in theme.json. Like so:

{
“area”: “header”,
“name”: “header-for-sites”
},
Then the system writes in the website editor my ” header-for-sites ” under > Header. And when i delete the header-5 in my theme files , it ist gone in the Website Editor and everything works fine. ????

Hi @mdquer ,

I’m glad you figured it out and the issue is now solved.
