Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast
Contrast
The base pairs the theme's base and contrast chains. The styled variation sets ground and ink together on every coloured panel. Readable text targets 4.5:1, with large headings eligible for 3:1.
Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints
Responsive behaviour
The core grid reflows into fewer columns as its available width narrows. The composition becomes a single readable column on a phone.
Plugin requirements
None. This section uses core WordPress blocks and no script.
Questions
The Reviews: common questions
Does The Reviews need a plugin?
No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (group, heading and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.
Will The Reviews match my theme?
Choose by variation. The Reviews takes your theme’s palette; Newsprint And Red brings its own colours.
How many variations does The Reviews have?
2: The Reviews and Newsprint And Red. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.
Is The Reviews free?
It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 50 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.
Which WordPress version does it need?
Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0. 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
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
