Many common questions about block themes and Full Site Editing — how the Site Editor works, templates and template parts, patterns, global styles, and more — are answered in the official Catch Themes FSE FAQ.

Read the full FAQ here: https://catchthemes.com/fse-faq/

3. Understanding the Site Editor

Everything in this theme is edited in one place: Appearance → Editor (the Site Editor). There is no Customizer. Learn these four building blocks first — the rest of this guide refers to them constantly.

Appearance → Editor
Appearance → Editor

If you are on Site Front-End then you will see WP Admin Bar on the top of the page, click on “Edit Site” to open the Site Editor.

Edit Site from Frontend
Edit Site
Building block What it is Where to find it
Templates The layout of a type of page — the blog, a single post, the 404 page, the shop. Editor → Templates
Template Parts Reusable chunks shared across templates — Headers, Footers, Sidebars. Change one and it updates everywhere it is used. Editor → Patterns → Template Parts
Patterns Pre-designed sections (a hero, a pricing table, a team grid) you drop into any page or post. The [+] Inserter → Patterns tab

Getting around the editor

  • [+] (top-left) — the Inserter. Add blocks and patterns here.
  • List View / Document Overview (rows icon, top-left) — an outline of every block on the page. The easiest way to select a section without clicking around.
  • Settings (gear, top-right) — options for the selected block (size, colors, spacing).
  • Styles (half-moon, top-right) — site-wide colors and fonts.
  • Save (blue button, top-right) — nothing goes live until you click this and confirm the items to save.

Golden rule: if a change is not showing on your live site, you almost certainly forgot to click Save.

4. Headers & Footers

Headers and footers are Template Parts, so editing one updates it across your whole site.

Switching to a different header or footer

  1. Open Appearance → Editor → Patterns → Template Parts.
  2. Open the part you want to change (for example, Header or Footer).
  3. Open List View / Document Overview, select the top-level header or footer block, and use the options menu (three dots) → Replace to choose a different design from the Patterns inserter.
  4. Click Save.

Available headers

Footer and Footer With Widgets

Footer Template Part

Footer Template Part

Note: this is a block theme, so there is no Appearance → Widgets screen. The “widgets” in the footer are simply blocks (recent posts, navigation, social icons, text, and so on) that you edit directly inside the footer template part.

Add your logo

  1. Open Editor → Patterns → Template Parts → Header.
  2. Click the Site Logo block, then choose Replace and upload or select your logo.
  3. Drag the blue handles, or use the Settings (gear) panel, to set the logo width. Click Save.

Site title, tagline & favicon

Set your Site Title, Tagline, and Site Icon (the small favicon shown in the browser tab) under Settings → General. Once a logo is in place you can hide the text title from the Site Logo / Site Title block settings.

Navigation menus

  1. In the Site Editor, click the Navigation block in your header (or open Editor → Navigation).
  2. Use the [+] inside the block to add pages, custom links, categories, or submenus.
  3. Drag items to reorder them. Drag an item slightly to the right (indent) to turn it into a dropdown sub-item.
  4. Click Save.

On phones and tablets the menu automatically collapses into a tap-to-open icon, so you do not need a separate mobile menu.

6. Editing Content: Spacing, Layout & Alignment

Once a pattern is on the page, you shape it with three controls that appear for almost every block.

Width & alignment

Select a block and use the alignment button in its toolbar:

  • None — normal content width (about 780px).
  • Wide width — stretches wider (up to about 1400px).
  • Full width — edge to edge across the screen (great for hero and banner sections).

Spacing (padding & margin)

In the Settings (gear) → Dimensions panel you can set padding (space inside a block) and margin (space outside it). The theme provides ready-made spacing presets that scale down nicely on smaller screens, so picking a preset is usually better than typing a fixed pixel value.

Block spacing (gap)

For groups, columns, and rows, the Block spacing control sets the gap between the items inside — handy for tightening or loosening a grid of cards.

Colors, borders & typography per block

The Settings panel also lets you override Color (text, background, link), Typography (size, line height), and Border for the selected block.

7. Using Block Patterns

Insert a pattern

After opening site editor, there are 3 ways you can add Blocks and Pattern in you website:

  1. Click on the Block inserter (+) icon in the top toolbar and Click on Patterns. Browse the Patterns and select the one that you like to add.
  2. Click on the Block inserter (+) icon to the right of an empty block, after that Click on the Browse All button, and finally Click on Patterns. Browse the Patterns and select the one that you like to add.
  3. Click on the Block inserter (+) icon in between blocks, after that Click on the Browse All button, and finally Click on Patterns. Browse the Patterns and select the one that you like to add.

Once the section is selected you can edit its content or if you want to customize the section’ properties/options, click the three dots and select your desired action. Duplicate, Remove, Copy or Add desired section before or after the current section.

Go to this link to know more about adding blocks and patterns

Edit Pattern Content

First, click on the pattern you wish to edit/customize
You can select the section/content in three ways

  1. Clicking on the section itself
  2. List View / Document Overview
  3. Footer Interface Bar

For the full pattern, after you select the pattern that you want to edit, click on “Edit pattern” button. Then you can edit each section inside the pattern.

Edit Selected Pattern using the Edit pattern button

Once the section is selected you can edit its content or if you want to customize the section’ properties/options, click the three dots and select your desired action. Duplicate, Remove, Copy or Add desired section before or after the current section.

Edit Selected Block

Replace a section with a different pattern

Select the section in List View / Document Overview, open the options menu (three dots) → Replace, and choose another pattern.

Save your own reusable / synced patterns

Built a section you want to reuse? Select it, open the options menu (three dots) → Create pattern, give it a name, and choose:

  • Synced — one master copy. Edit it once and every place it appears updates (perfect for a call-to-action you repeat across pages).
  • Not synced — inserts a fresh, independent copy each time, which you can then edit freely.

Find your saved patterns later under [+] Inserter → Patterns → My patterns, or manage them in Editor → Patterns.

How to duplicate a section or block

Duplicating is the fastest way to repeat something you have already styled — another service card, another pricing column, another slide, or a whole section.

  1. Open List View / Document Overview (the rows icon, top-left) and click the block or section you want to copy. List View makes it easy to select the right group rather than one small block inside it.
  2. Click the options menu (three dots) on the toolbar or in List View.
  3. Choose Duplicate. An exact copy appears directly below the original.
  4. Edit the copy’s text, image, or link, then click Save.

Handy shortcuts:

  • Keyboard: select a block and press Ctrl + Shift + D (Windows) or ⌘ + Shift + D (Mac) to duplicate.
  • Copy between pages: select the section, press Ctrl/⌘ + C, open the other page, and press Ctrl/⌘ + V.
  • Reorder: use the up/down arrows in the toolbar, or drag the block in List View.
  • Remove: the same options menu has Delete (or press Shift + Alt + Z).

Tip: to repeat the same section across several pages and have one edit update them all, save it as a synced pattern instead of duplicating (see above).

Worked examples: adding specific patterns

The steps below all start the same way: open the page or post you are editing, click the [+] inserter, open the Patterns tab, and type the pattern’s name in the search box. Click the result to drop it in, then edit it in place. You can preview every pattern live on the theme demo.
