Using a pattern in a template

    Hello, I wanted to create a pattern for social sharing links which I could use on all single posts via template. But – when I do this it shares the name of the pattern and not the current post. I am using a hybrid theme. Is it an issue with not using a block theme or just something I can’t do right now? Thanks!

    Hi @eatpaintchic,

    I just tested adding a Social Sharing Block to a pattern in the Twenty Twenty-Four theme. Then I added the pattern to the posts template and the links share the current post as expected. I tested using WordPress 6.6.

    Can you share a bit more about your setup, such as the WordPress version? If you are able to share the theme, that would be helpful as well.

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Thanks for your reply Nick, I am using a custom hybrid theme based on Underscores. I just tested this again and I think the issue was all me. I have a function that will allow me to generate a shortcode for a pattern so I can use it in a php template. I just tried it again as a general template (not a pattern) and called that in my php file using block_template_part(‘single-social-share’) – this method worked as expected. I think my shortcode to display a synced pattern is doing something else to the content of the blocks… but I’m not sure what (yet)…
