# Coming soon: Block Pattern Directory Submissions

Last year we launched the Block Pattern Directory, a curated selection of [beautiful and useful block patterns](https://wordpress.org/patterns/)
hosted on WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is 
created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code 
for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community
conversations and organization. [https://wordpress.org/](https://wordpress.org/)
and usable directly from the post editor in any WordPress site.

Soon we plan to open the Pattern Directory to submissions from the public. The [Pattern Creator page](https://wordpress.org/patterns/new-pattern/)
will allow designers and content creators to build, edit, and submit their best 
blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed
together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The
idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom
HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. patterns
to the directory. Approved patterns will be added to the directory, where they will
be instantly available to the authors of millions of WordPress sites.

The Pattern Creator is expected to launch next week. In the meantime, we’d like 
to invite designers, theme developers, and anyone else who loves creating block 
patterns, to help test the submission process and start submitting and publishing
patterns early. If creating and sharing block patterns with the whole world sounds
like something you’d love to do, you can [get started now](https://wordpress.org/patterns/new-pattern/).

 * Design: submit your best patterns. cc +make.wordpress.org/design/
 * Themes: if you’d like to see the moderation and approval process we can arrange

 6.  Submittion was easy.
      A few points:
 7.   * i couldn’t see the Code Editor
      * the handy tree dots in the List View also missing
 8.  It’s also not clear what happens if i edit my design afterwards. Can i edit it
     all the time? After submission? After approval? Or only in Pending state?
 9.  But for sure, really amazing work! I remember the start of Beaver Builder way 
     before the Elementor-era. Exactly the pattern option of Beaver Builder skyrocketed
     their success. I have good faith it will do the same for the Open SourceOpen Source

 12. Great news! 🙂
 13. I’ve tried submitting but had these issues:
 14.  * I couldn’t insert an image in from pattern media library. (I’ve reverted back
        to an online CC0 image for the time being.)
      * Duotone filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks [https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks).
        They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are
        the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an
        isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global
        variables and output. doesn’t seem to be working on an image.
 15. Please check these issues. Thanks!

      * More info: the duotone issue occurs in pattern preview, not in the editor.

      * Hi [@webmandesign](https://profiles.wordpress.org/webmandesign/), I believe
        the image issue you encountered has been resolved. Would you be able to look
        at pattern creation again and confirm?

 19. Awesome, I can’t wait for the pattern directory to grow. Do you think the possibility
     to add patterns which include blocks other than coreCore Core is the set of software
     required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. blocks 
     will be available at some point?
