How can I programmatically disable Gutenberg query block patterns?

Question

I have this function in my theme's functions.php file:

remove_theme_support( 'core-block-patterns' );

which works great but does not remove the Query patterns. How can I include those to be removed in this function?

Answer 1

You can disable all "experimental block patterns" including the query block patterns by adding a filter:

add_action( 'init', function() {
  add_filter(
    'block_editor_settings_all',
    function ($editor_settings) {
      $editor_settings['__experimentalBlockPatterns'] = [];
      return $editor_settings;
    }
  );
});

You can see all editor settings (that you could disable with this filter) in this comment: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/block_editor_settings_all/#comment-5661

Answer 2

My fix for this issue is editing the Gutenberg plugin and removing the blocks there. I have not found a way to cleanly remove them through functions.php.
