Deprecated Templates
Templates are deprecated since v4.0.0. You need to migrate to the WordPress FSE theme and use Template editor natively. Learn more -> https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/template-editor/.
Our implementation will still work for existing sites, but it is deprecated for future use.
Templates let you define a default set of blocks for specific post types. This ensures consistency across your content and speeds up the content creation process.
