Twenty Twenty-Three: Adopt postTypes for header/footer patterns

[dsas]

The Twenty Twenty-Three header and footer patterns are listed in the inserter when creating posts and pages, as well as when editing templates and template parts.

Is there a good reason for header and footer patterns to be available in the inserter when creating posts and pages?

Since 6.1 patterns can have postTypes which limits where a pattern can be used. Setting postTypes to ['wp_template', 'wp_template_part'] on header/footer patterns will mean that the patterns don't show up when editing pages/posts but will show up when editing templates and template parts. Currently the TT3 patterns don't use the ​postTypes property at all

Hi @dsas

If I remember correctly, this was primarily so that users can use them with the blank page template.

WordPress also has default header and footer patterns that are available in the post editor.

Because of that, I suggest that this issue is closed.

In that case it could be set to ['wp_template', 'wp_template_part', 'wp_page'], i.e. not posts but I don't feel strongly about this.

In this case, I also agree with @poena on closing. I am marking as 'won't fix' due to it not being something to consider later.
