Discovering the WordPress Pattern Directory

In the previous chapter, we looked at how you can create your own patterns. While that is great, there is a directory of incredible patterns that users across the community of WordPress have created. This is known as the WordPress Pattern Directory. It hosts an incredible array of patterns ready to use in whatever way you want.

In this chapter, we will discover the following together:

  • What is the WordPress Pattern Directory?

We will then close with a summary of the Pattern Directory as we move to close this section exploring WordPress patterns.
