Overview

This plugin adds a menu & a few submenus for patterns that emulates the editing experience of posts & pages. It is useful for those who prefer the classic editor over the new one, or for those who have pattern lists that take very long to load in the new editor.

Usage

Open the Patterns menu on the left sidebar to manage your patterns. The submenus are the same as the ones in the classic post-list.
