Block templates are pre-built collections of blocks used to define default initial states within the WordPress Gutenberg editor. They can have predefined attributes, placeholder content, and can be static or dynamic. These templates are different from template files, which are PHP files such as index.php, page.php, and single.php, and work the same way with both classic and block themes, according to the WordPress template hierarchy.1 Block templates offer several advantages:

• Faster content creation: These allow users to start with a curated editing experience, making it easier to create and manage content.1

• Consistent design: These provide a consistent design across multiple pages or posts, ensuring a cohesive look throughout your website.1

• Ease of use: These can be easily imported and customized within the Gutenberg editor, making it simple for users to create and modify their websites.1
