- It shows its final state at once; anything a visitor can press or drag still works.

- Plugin missing or older
- It pastes as plain WordPress blocks, in reading order, without the designed layout.
Questions
Pocket Stories: common questions
What is Pocket Stories for?
Fits an app or product landing page where visitors follow a sequence of features, each paired with its own screen and explanation. Typical uses: mobile app product tour, app launch landing page and digital product feature story.
Does Pocket Stories need a plugin?
Yes. Designed Patterns come with a subscription, which includes the Pattern Paste plugin that runs them; Pocket Stories arrived in plugin 0.46.0. 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 Pocket Stories?
As pasted it has 3 background images, 4 headings, 14 text lines and 1 button, 16 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 Pocket Stories 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.
