Inserting Blocks into a column not available

It sounds like you’re encountering two issues aft6.7.1:

1. You cannot add patterns into a column a
2. Page scrolling behavior become

Both issues might stem from changes in the block editor (Gutenberg)Issue 1: Cannot Insert Patterns into Columns

The block editor should allow patterns to be inserted inside a column block. Here are steps to troubleshoot and fix this issue:1. Test for Theme or Plugin Conflicts

Sometimes, themes or plugins can conflict with the block editor. To isolate the issue:

• Disable all plugins except Gutenberg (if installed) and test inserting a pattern into a column.
• Switch to a default theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Four) and test again.

If it works, reactivate plugins one by one to identify the culprit.2. Ensure WordPress and Gutenberg Are Updated

Make sure your Gutenberg plugin (if installed) is up to date:

• Go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, search for Gutenberg, and check for updates.
• If you’re using the block editor without the Gutenberg plugin, it could be a core WordPress issue, and a fix may come in future updates.

3. Try Classic Patterns Workaround

If “My Patterns” don’t show in the column block, use the following workaround:

1. Insert the pattern into a blank area of your post/page.
2. Select the entire pattern block.
3. Use the “Move To” option or drag and drop to place it inside the desired column.

4. Manual Code Solution (Advanced Option)

As a temporary fix, you can insert a pattern directly by using HTML mode:

1. Switch the editor to Code Editor mode (Options > Code Editor).
2. Copy and paste the pattern’s HTML block inside the column code.

Issue 2: Erratic Scrolling When Editing Patterns

Erratic scrolling when double-clicking a pattern could be related to a bug in the editor or a browser compatibility issue.1. Browser Troubleshooting

• Clear your browser cache and cookies.
• Test in another browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge) to confirm the issue isn’t browser-specific.
• Disable browser extensions that might interfere with the block editor.

2. Editor Bug

This behavior might be a known bug in WordPress 6.7.1. Check the following:

• Visit the WordPress Trac or Gutenberg GitHub Issues to see if others reported this problem.
• If it’s a confirmed bug, it should be resolved in the next update. Consider downgrading temporarily if it severely impacts your work.

3. Temporary Workaround

Instead of double-clicking, use the following steps to detach a pattern:

1. Select the pattern block.
2. Open the block settings sidebar (three vertical dots … > Detach Pattern).

Final Steps

If neither of the above resolves your problem:

• Report this issue on the Gutenberg GitHub Repository so developers can investigate.
• Keep an eye out for WordPress updates, as this issue might be patched in the next maintenance release.

Let me know how it goes—happy to help further! ??

Hi,

Tried the disable all plugins but to no avail.

Don’t have Gutenberg installed

Cleared the browser cache

3. Try Classic Patterns Workaround
They are just not there

4. Manual Code Solution (Advanced Option)
Not tried this yet

Editor
3. Temporary Workaround
The option to detach is not available in the menu, only after I double click

I will keep an eye however this started with 6.7 but I saw there was to be a solution to this problem with 6.7.1 but obviously didnt work.
