What you change first

  1. Sub-card focus areas. Tailor the two sub-cards (Local Workflows vs Cloud Deployments) to contrast two complementary sides of your product.
  2. Media & checklists. Upload a screenshot into the left sub-card and update the checklist points in the right sub-card.

The signature moment

Nested plate containment with internal sub-cards

This pattern introduces a compound surface hierarchy: an overarching role-plate container establishes a common bounded workspace, inside of which two balanced sub-cards (one media-oriented, one spec-oriented with checklist items) live. The enclosing plate provides visual unification for multi-faceted features such as local development vs. cloud deployment workflows.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast

What it inherits from your theme

  • Typeface. Inherits all active theme fonts for headings, tags, lists, and body copy.
  • Palette. Section ground uses base (falling back to white), copy uses contrast (falling back to black). Outer container and inner text use role-plate and role-plate-text.
  • Dividers & Sub-card borders. Hairlines use role-rule and currentColor.
  • Spacing. Container padding and column gutters follow the core spacing preset scale.

What it decides for itself

  • Proportion. A 50/50 two-column split nested inside an outer constrained 1240px plate wrapper.
  • Typography hierarchy. Section heading on xx-large, plate intro on x-large, sub-card headings on large, body copy on medium ladder rungs.

Included images

The copied markup includes WordPress Photo Directory example photographs. The public image URLs keep the examples visible after pasting. Select an image or cover and choose Replace to use your own Media Library files. See image credits for the sources and licenses. Pasting an image URL does not import a Media Library attachment.

Questions

Feature plate inset: common questions

Does Feature plate inset need a plugin?

No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (column, columns, group, heading, image and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.

Will Feature plate inset match my theme?

Yes. It names no colour or font of its own: every colour, size and space is a preset from your theme, so it takes your theme’s palette and type when pasted.

Can I use my own images?

Yes. Sample images stay in the copied blocks. Replace them in WordPress; pasting does not upload them to your Media Library.

Is Feature plate inset free?

It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 62 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.

Which WordPress version does it need?

Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0 to 7.1. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type.

The markup

13KB of core-block markup, 6 blocks (column, columns, group, heading, image, paragraph), and nothing else: paste it into the block editor and it becomes editable blocks wearing your theme.
