For reference, the 2025 theme calls:
<!-- wp:template-part {"slug":"header"} /-->
In index.html (for example). That then calls this:
<!-- wp:pattern {"slug":"twentytwentyfive/header"} /-->
Both of this files are called header.html.
Why this setup?
I have had this conversation on here and also with AI on numerous occasions but I still don't understand the difference.
The conservation is...
What is the difference between block theme template parts and synced patterns?
Replying to @groundworxdev @pootlepress
Thanks - I already use those, but I think what the community, as well as me is resources on how to build client sites using FSE.
A lot of the information out there doesn't necessarily work in a client situation.

This is the point - where does one learn about all this?

Another thing was one minute my image block has height and width controls, the next it doesn't?
Also sometimes I can align (full/width) a block and sometimes I can't?
I also get spacing between blocks that I cannot seem to remove.
All very frsutrating.

My biggest issue at the moment was the in ability to choose a different footer pattern for my footer.
We have patterns & templates parts which are confusing - how are they different.
Also very hard to maintain consistency across the site.

I have spent today trying to build a directory site for my golf club.
Thought FSE would be perfect with a few plugins.
I am an experienced developer but I cannot make any progress. FSE is supposed to enable anyone to build and edit a WordPress site.
I just feel 😢
Having one of those days / nights. Just taken me 15 minutes to find out how to add an excerpt to a post 😱

They never line up for one.
Here is my shocking effort 😂

All I want to do today is create a row of logos on my homepage.
Why is this so difficult with modern (and maybe even older) #WordPress?
Replying to @pootlepress
I don't think my kids really know an awful lot about it tbh.
What particularly about AI are they "railing" about?
Replying to @williamsba
@williamsba just watched the webinar "Preparing Your WordPress Agency for 2026" and enjoyed it. Thank you for your insights.
1 ❓ if I may.
You are use Theme Switcher Pro with your clients. Do they pay you for a license? Or do you give them a license as part of your work?
