A simple plugin to disable the loading of the remote block patterns from the WordPress pattern directory.
If you want to improve pattern inserter loading performance, have privacy concerns regarding loading remote assets, or just looking to reduce block pattern overload, and make your theme bundled patterns more discoverable, this is the plugin for you.
From your WordPress dashboard
- Visit 'Plugins > Add New',
- Search for 'disable remote patterns' and install the plugin.
- Activate 'Disable Remote Patterns' from your Plugins page.
That's it! No settings or complicated options.
Now when adding a pattern to your posts or pages, your site will not attempt to fetch and load the remote block patterns from WordPress.
