This plugin is licensed under the GPL v2 or later.
This tool enables synchronization of block patterns across multiple sites in a WordPress multisite network.
OneDesign allows you to define patterns on a Dashboard site and apply them to consumer sites, maintaining consistency across your network. The plugin provides an intuitive interface for browsing, searching, and applying patterns, making it easy to maintain design consistency across all your network sites.
Managing multiple websites—whether for different brands, regions, or languages shouldn’t mean reinventing the wheel each time. Instead of designing layouts from scratch for each site, OneDesign lets you create once and deploy anywhere, in just one click.
Built for enterprise teams, OneDesign unifies your design, editorial, and development processes across all web properties. The result? A shared design system that dramatically cuts down on development, decision-making, and opportunity costs—saving you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Patterns are transferred securely via WordPress REST API, ensuring that all pattern data, including blocks and settings, are properly synchronized.
Yes, you can control which patterns are applied to each consumer site by managing the selections in the Design Library.
There are no hard limits on the number of patterns you can sync, but performance may vary depending on your server resources and the complexity of the patterns.
Yes. You are able to do that from the dashboard itself.
- Patterns not showing up in the library
- Ensure your dashboard site is correctly set up
- Check network connectivity between sites
- Verify REST API permissions
- Search not working correctly
- The search functionality only searches pattern names
- Ensure pattern names are descriptive and unique
- Pattern count incorrect
- This may happen if patterns are filtered incorrectly
- Try clearing your browser cache and refreshing
