Design picker style variation consistency #92392

Open

Description

Quick summary

The style variation selector in onboarding displays differently depending on whether the style variations come from the theme, or whether they're generic variations

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to wordpress.com/start
  2. Work through onboarding, choosing a Premium plan, until you get to the design picker
  3. Choose Fewer (a theme with built-in style variations), note that the style variations are displayed together
  4. Go back
  5. Choose Yuga (a theme which uses shared style variations)
  6. Click Colours
  7. Note that Free style and Premium styles are displayed separately.
  8. Go back
  9. Click Fonts
  10. Note that free fonts and premium fonts are displayed separately.

What you expected to happen

I expected the colours and fonts selections, and the style variation selections to work in the same way no matter where the style variations come from.

To be more precise:

  • Colours and fonts ought to display a combined listing of the free variation and premium variations if the user is on a plan that grants them access to premium variations (explorer/premium plan and up).
  • Colours and fonts ought to display separate listings of the free variation and premium variations if the user is on a plan that does not grant them access to premium variations. (free & starter plans)

i.e. it should work like themes with built-in style variations do.

What actually happened

There wasn't any consistency
