Template Part — Parties de modèle réutilisables WordPress expliquées

Les parties de modèle sont des composants réutilisables dans les thèmes de blocs WordPress. Découvrez leur fonctionnement et leur différence avec les modèles PHP classiques.

Definition

A template part is a saved block snippet in a WordPress block theme that can be used across multiple templates. The most common use case: header and footer as template parts appearing on all pages. Since Full Site Editing (WordPress 5.9), template parts can be edited directly in the editor — no PHP knowledge required.

Template parts vs. classic PHP templates

In classic WordPress themes, the header is defined in `header.php` and the footer in `footer.php` — editable only by code. In block themes, header and footer are template parts: visually editable in the Full Site Editor, stored as HTML files with Gutenberg block markup in the `/parts/` folder.

Creating and editing template parts

In the Full Site Editor (Appearance → Editor), existing template parts can be edited or new ones created. New parts are saved as HTML files in the theme. Template parts are included in templates via ``.

Template parts and anipage.io

anipage.io generates complete page content as Gutenberg block markup — including header- and footer-like sections. The export contains the page content (without theme template parts), which can be imported into existing WordPress themes without overwriting existing template parts.
