 * I want to add custom (unsynced) patterns to my site, and when I add them with
   Create pattern/reusable block and don’t enable the Synced toggle, they are still
   fully synced when editing and when I look at them in Manage patterns. Is there
   a bug with this?

 * Hey [@pixelshrink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pixelshrink/)
 * I cannot reproduce the issue: I’m able to create both synced and not synced patterns.
   If I create a not-synced pattern, add it to a post, and later modify the pattern,
   the post still has the old content. I tried with two different browsers (chrome
   and firefox, using macos).
 * I wonder if something is setting the “sync” toggle always active before you save
   the pattern? Can you share what happens when you create an unsynced pattern?
 * A not obvious thing you could try is deactivating your plugins one by one and
   try recreating the pattern, to see if some plugin is interfering with pattern
   creation.
 * Best,
    André

 * Thanks, you’re right I’ve managed to get it working on a blank site. On the normal
   site when I create an unsynced pattern, it comes up with a notification saying
   the unsynced pattern is saved, but then the pattern is synced. Will try the deactivating
   plugins trick.

 * [@pixelshrink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pixelshrink/) have you found
   any solution? I’m corrently facing the same issue, all my patterns are synced
   even when I don’t toggle the sync option.

 * [@meymigrou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meymigrou/) Yes, Rank Math SEO
   plugin was the problem. Update Rank Math and it should be fixed now.
