How do I use the patterns?
Use the button copy that appears on every pattern page. A code will be copied.
Open a Wordpress site and a page. Add a “Custom HTML” block. Paste the code on the “Custom HTML” block, press the 3 dots, and “Convert to Blocks”. The pattern will be rendered.

You can test a pattern here.
What “Requires: Twentig” means?
It means you need to install the free Twentig plugin to fully use the pattern, or the Twenty Twenty-Four theme with a pre-defined style.
You can also use it without it.
The pattern looks broken missing padding and margins
Since padding and margins aren’t atomic and every block theme uses its own naming, they will not import.
In this case, you need to apply manually the padding and margins using the block editor, after importing the pattern.
