Readme

Enable Classic Pattern Editor

WordPress plugin that adds a menu item to redirect to the classic post-list of patterns (edit.php) instead of the fancy new one (site-editor.php).

Installation

Download the latest release of the plugin & install it on your WordPress site.

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.
