The signature moment
Centred headshots in individual cards
Each face occupies the card's top half, and the text is centred beneath it. The cards are equal units, then reflow from four to two to one as the available width narrows.
Theme handoff
What comes from where
From your theme
The base uses your base and contrast palette, typeface and spacing presets. Body copy aims at 4.5:1 contrast; large display text at 3:1. The title is a display clamp; names use the large rung. The stated variation carries the Designed kind's warm paper, ivory cards and green ink, with a Georgia stack on the title and names.

Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints
What the buyer gets
The People Behind It copy and four fictional people are included. The social actions are placeholder links for the buyer to replace.
Responsive composition
The heading and lede stay centred. Native core grid layout allows the cards to reflow at 1920, 1280, 820 and 390 pixels. Each person remains one editable group.
Included images
The four exact portrait URLs from the Designed kind are in the reviewed assets/pattern-artwork.json registry. Replace them with your team photos in the editor. Pasting a URL does not import an attachment. See image credits.
Questions
People behind it: common questions
Does People behind it need a plugin?
No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (button, buttons, cover, group, heading and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.
Will People behind it match my theme?
Choose by variation. People behind it takes your theme’s palette; Warm portrait cards brings its own colours.
How many variations does People behind it have?
2: People behind it and Warm portrait cards. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.
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 People behind it free?
It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 50 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.
The markup
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
