 * I’ve just noticed the latest WordPress update adds a section called ‘Patterns’
   which is only used in the Block Editor.
 * Do you have any plans to disable this with the plugin in a future update?

 * I haven’t seen it, where is it located or how do I access?

 * Hi Jeff, it is in the Appearance menu, between Themes and Customise.

 * I also asked if the guys maintaining the Classic Editor plugin would be removing
   this feature at [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/patterns-menu-item/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/patterns-menu-item/)
   but I don’t think they will. So it would be good if the Disable Gutenberg plugin
   had this option instead.

 * Thanks, though I am not sure if that is something that falls under “Gutenberg”
   specifically. As the mod says in the other forum thread, Patterns may be used
   by users of both Gutenberg and classic editor.
 * Even so, I will take a closer look at this for the next update. If there is a
   clean/core way to remove/disable Patterns, it may be worthwhile to include an
   option for it.
