Fabrica Synced Pattern Instances

Where has this pattern actually been used?

WordPress won’t tell you how many times — or where — a Synced Pattern (formerly Reusable Block) appears across your site. This free plugin will.

What it adds

Basic but vital indexing for Synced Patterns.

  • Patterns in the main admin menu — no more hunting through the Site Editor
  • An Instances column — see at a glance how many times each Synced Pattern appears across the site
  • Click through to every use — the count links to a list of all the content (Posts, Pages, and other public post types) that includes the block
  • Synced vs unsynced distinguished — with support for the WP 6.3 renaming built in
  • Fast on big sites — results load asynchronously and are cached, with filtering by post type

Why it matters

Edit a pattern knowing what you’ll change.

Editing a Synced Pattern changes every page it appears on — which is the point, and the danger. Knowing it’s used in 30 places (and exactly which ones) before you touch it turns a leap of faith into an informed edit.

Install, activate, done — no configuration required. Designed to work seamlessly with Fabrica Dashboard.
