Template Part — WordPress可复用模板部件详解

模板部件是WordPress区块主题中的可复用组件，如页眉和页脚。了解其工作原理及与经典PHP模板的区别。

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.
