-pattern overload-

How to?

as soon as ‘reusable blox’ became available a few years ago, i have been streadily amassing a large collection of what are now “patterns”.

as of today, i have 2,363.

in a previous post, i was looking for advice on how to manage occasional lags in loading the patterns to insert into posts.

In the latest wordpress update, the problem has gotten way worse.

despite having lots of bandwidth on my hosting plan, editing patterns can take several minutes to update.

before you were allowed the option of ‘not syncing’ your pattern before publishing it, all the patterns were synced by default.

and there doesn’t seem to be a way to “unsync” them once they are synced.

i have to cut the blocks from the ‘synced pattern’, paste it into a new unsynced pattern, and delete the synced pattern.

i’m hoping there’s a better way than having to repeat this process thousands of times.

and even this method doesn’t really work well for me.

the sheer number of patterns seems to be impeding my ability to do anything with these patterns.

even deleting them leaves me with a frozen screen.

editing unsynced patterns is slow, but it eventually works after a minute or so.

i can insert unsynced patterns into posts (though that usually has significant delay).

my workaround is to create chrome bookmarks for the patterns, use a chrome extension to quickly open the ‘unsynced pattern editor’, and copy/pasting its content back to my original post.

both synced/unsynced patterns can usually open in a reasonable amount of time.

trying to insert any ‘synced pattern’, no matter how short, into a wordpress post is impossible.

i get the sense that the synced patterns are responsible for the lag, but am at a loss for what to do since even deleting them freezes the editor.

since i am using the patterns as ‘post templates’, i have no need for synced patterns.

my workflow consists of creating new posts and then inserting an unsynced template pattern into the first block and filling in the categories.

i’m really hoping that the problem is only being caused by synced patterns, since my workflow has become very dependant on unsynced patterns.

also, i’ve had over 2000 patterns for years now and they never caused any serious problems in my workflow until this latest update in wordpress.

the only slight inconvenience then was that i’d have to manually detach template patterns to insert new parameters for the post.

the usynced pattern does this automatically which is good….

hoping that in near future there will be a faster way of ‘unsyncing’ patterns.

any advice appreciated!

🙏TIA🙏

TL/DR

i have thousands of patterns on my wordpress site + with the latest update to “synced patterns”, i have been experiencing extreme performance issues when working with patterns.

will there ever be a way to ‘unsync’ synced patterns after the fact? seems to be the synced patterns causing the problem.
