Block patterns

The theme registers 20 block patterns under the Dankcave category. They're the building blocks of every content page.

Find them in the block editor: click + → Patterns → Dankcave.

Composing a page

1. Pages → Add New

2. Title the page

3. Right sidebar → Template → Landing (full-bleed)

4. Top-right ⋮ menu → Code editor

5. Paste one or more pattern references:

   <!-- wp:pattern {"slug":"dankcave/about-hero"} /-->
   <!-- wp:pattern {"slug":"dankcave/commitment-split"} /-->
   <!-- wp:pattern {"slug":"dankcave/why-choose-cards"} /-->

6. Switch to Visual editor to preview

Adding a new pattern

1. Create the pattern file at theme/patterns/my-pattern.php. Return either a string of static blocks or a dynamic <!-- wp:html --><section>...</section><!-- /wp:html --> wrapper for PHP data.
2. Register it in theme/inc/block-patterns.php under the dankcave category.
3. Style it in theme/assets/css/theme.css scoped to .pattern-{name}.
4. Clear Autoptimize after upload.

Gotcha: register_block_pattern() uses require, running the pattern PHP in the caller's scope. Wrap dynamic patterns in an IIFE so loop variables don't leak.
