 * Hi folks not used this theme before, and before I delete my old site and start
   again can someone answer a few questions?
 * 1) I want to use 2 or 3 of the patterns for different sections or pages. I know
   a page and section are different but I’m confused what I will need, before I 
   build it. Can you use 2 or 3 patterns quickly and easily or does it need customisation?
 * 2) How easy is it to adjust font size for entire pages/sections?
 * 3) I have a large image media collection in my current site and if I delete the
   existing theme which uses them, presumably all the content is still there to 
   use again for 2025? Many thanks!

 * Hi [@orangemarmalade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orangemarmalade/),
 * Before anything else, about your third question: please don’t delete the site.
   You don’t need to, and it’s the one step that could lose your images.
    3. Media
 * Your Media Library doesn’t belong to the theme. The files live in wp-content/
   uploads and the entries in the database, so switching themes, or even deleting
   the old theme afterwards, leaves every image in place, ready to reuse. Only deleting
   the WordPress site itself (or a host’s “reinstall/reset”) would remove them.
 * The safe route: Appearance > Themes > Add New > Twenty Twenty-Five, then hover
   it and click “Live Preview” to look around without switching. When you’re ready,
   activate it and rebuild page by page; your existing posts and pages stay too.
   Take a backup first anyway, it’s good practice before any theme change.
 * What does not carry over from a classic theme: sidebars/widgets, and anything
   built with that theme’s own shortcodes or page builder. Old menus can be brought
   back: in the Navigation block’s menu options there’s “Import Classic Menus”.
    1. Patterns
 * They’re meant to be used quickly. Twenty Twenty-Five ships about 70 patterns 
   in the inserter (+ > Patterns), grouped as Banners, Featured, Call to action,
   About, Services, Testimonials, Contact and so on, plus a dozen full-page layouts
   that appear in a “Choose a pattern” window when you create a new page.
 * Inserting one is instant. What you get is a copy filled with placeholder text
   and the theme’s demo images, so the only real “customization” is replacing those
   with your own. Colors and fonts follow your site styles automatically. So the
   useful preparation is:
    - the text and images for each section, and
    - choosing your colors and fonts first (Appearance > Editor > Styles, including
      the style variations), because every pattern picks them up.
 * Once you’ve tuned a section you want to repeat, select it and use the three-dot
   menu > “Create pattern”. If you mark it Synced, editing it once updates it everywhere
   it’s used.
    2. Font sizes
 *  - Whole site: Appearance > Editor > Styles > Typography. “Text” sets the body
      size and “Headings” the heading sizes. “Font size presets” edits the size 
      scale itself (Small to Extra Extra Large), and every block using a preset 
      follows. The theme uses fluid typography, so these sizes also scale down on
      phones automatically.
    - One section or one page: wrap the blocks in a Group (select them, Ctrl/Cmd
      +G) and set Typography > Size on the Group. Everything inside that doesn’t
      have its own size inherits it. Headings, and text inside patterns that already
      have a preset size, keep their own value; change those on the block itself.
 * Hope that helps you plan the move.
