Question: Can I use a reusable block in a template or template part?
Answer: I wouldn’t recommend it. Use a template part instead.
- They’re very similar, but have different purposes.
- Template parts may be loaded from the theme’s
block-template-parts
folder. - Templates parts and reusable blocks can both be stored in the database.
- Reusable blocks are primarily for including in more than one post.
- Template parts are primarily used in templates.
You can convert a template part to a reusable block.
I demonstrated that by loading a template part called zzz
and saving it as a reusable block called Zzz reusable block
, using Options > Add to reusable blocks from the template part’s toolbar.
