section, finding images, setting up menus and forms.

If it is missing, the import wizard installs it from WordPress.org and activates it, after telling you. The Design Library also works with other block themes, although spacing and colours can look different from the previews. The Style Library appears only while PageCore FSE is active.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"is%20a%20page%20builder%20required%3F\"><h3>Is a page builder required?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. PageCore works inside the block editor and Site Editor that come with WordPress. There is no separate builder to install, learn or pay for.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"what%20is%20the%20difference%20between%20a%20starter%20site%2C%20a%20site%20kit%20and%20a%20pattern%3F\"><h3>What is the difference between a starter site, a site kit and a pattern?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>A starter site is a complete website: pages, images, menus, templates, forms and styles, imported together through the wizard. A site kit is the same starter site opened in the Design Library, where you can insert any one of its pages into the page you are editing. A pattern is a single ready-made section, such as a hero, a pricing table or a team grid.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20i%20add%20a%20single%20page%20instead%20of%20a%20whole%20website%3F\"><h3>Can I add a single page instead of a whole website?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. In the editor, open the PageCore Library, go to Site Kits, pick a starter site and insert the page you want. Its images are copied to your media library. Nothing else from that starter site is imported.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20i%20import%20a%20starter%20site%20into%20a%20site%20that%20already%20has%20content%3F\"><h3>Can I import a starter site into a site that already has content?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. Your own pages, posts and forms stay. Before anything starts, the wizard lists what will be imported, including the front page, site title, permalinks and the site's colours and fonts. A site holds one starter site at a time, so importing a new one replaces the PageCore demo already there, and the wizard asks you to agree first.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20i%20change%20everything%20after%20importing%3F\"><h3>Can I change everything after importing?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. Edit pages, headers, footers and templates in the Site Editor. Adjust colours and fonts under Styles, or give the whole site a different look from the Style Library.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"do%20i%20need%20to%20keep%20pagecore%20active%20after%20an%20import%3F\"><h3>Do I need to keep PageCore active after an import?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes, we recommend it. Your pages are ordinary blocks and stay in place either way. Some sections use PageCore's colour schemes (Soft, Accent, Dark), and some blocks use its Tablet Navigation or Absolute Position options. With PageCore switched off, those parts lose that styling.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"will%20pagecore%20slow%20down%20my%20website%3F\"><h3>Will PageCore slow down my website?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>PageCore does its work in the admin area.

The External services section lists what PageCore connects to.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20it%20work%20on%20wordpress%20multisite%3F\"><h3>Does it work on WordPress multisite?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes.
