About this plugin
Borealform Site Editor Toolkit adds a browsable pattern gallery, template breadcrumb, responsive preview, structural content locks, and style variation picker to the native WordPress Site Editor. All five tools are included and fully functional after activation. The plugin loads its scripts and styles only in the Site Editor. It does not add assets, tracking, licence checks, or external requests to public-facing pages or send data to Borealform. The free edition is complete and is not a trial. Borealform Pro is a separate commercial plugin with premium pattern/template packs, saved style systems, advanced editorial controls, agency workflow features, and priority support. Pro is never required for the tools listed here. Site administrators can optionally compare Pro from the Toolkit’s own admin screens; the free plugin does not track that choice. The human-readable source code and build instructions are maintained at https://github.com/scottjgd/borealform-site-editor-toolkit. Pattern Gallery lets you search and insert registered block patterns. Template Breadcrumb shows the current template, template part, and selected block. Responsive Preview switches the editor canvas between desktop, tablet, and mobile device modes. Content Lock applies native WordPress content-only locks to supported container blocks. Style Variations lets you browse and apply available global style variations. It is available on WordPress 6.5 and later when the active theme supplies variations. Development The human-readable source code and build instructions are available at https://github.com/scottjgd/borealform-site-editor-toolkit. To build the editor assets, run pnpm install --frozen-lockfile followed by pnpm run build . The repository also includes the WordPress.org packaging validation script.
