Questions ## Elsewhere Journal: common questions What is Elsewhere Journal for? Suits a journal or blog landing page, where a few featured stories get large titles and tall photographs before the full archive. Typical uses: travel journal features, magazine featured stories, blog homepage highlights and guidebook chapter teasers. Does Elsewhere Journal need a plugin? Yes. Designed Patterns come with a subscription, which includes the Pattern Paste plugin that runs them; Elsewhere Journal arrived in plugin 0.33.0. Without the plugin, or on an older version, it pastes as plain WordPress blocks: the content reads in order, without the designed layout. What can I edit in Elsewhere Journal? As pasted it has 3 images, 4 headings, 6 text lines and 3 buttons, 6 of them optional and removable. The items are a repeatable set: the item controls add one or remove the last. The layout stays protected while you edit. Unlock layout, in the section’s settings, lets you insert, move and remove any block. Will Elsewhere Journal match my theme? Choose Designed to keep its own palette and type, or Use my theme to let it follow your theme’s colours and fonts. Either works in any block theme on WordPress 7.0 or later. Choose Use my theme in the preview above to see it follow a theme before you copy. Can the motion be switched off? Yes. Turn off Animate changes in the section settings, and visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get the same: the section shows its final state at once and anything they can press or drag still works. With JavaScript off, all content stays visible.
