Builder Basics: Exploring Block Layout, Alignment, Dimensions, and Spacing
Details
In this social learning space, we’ll explore everything you need to know about positioning blocks in WordPress. From layout and alignment to dimensions and block spacing, you’ll learn the nuances of each and how to configure them correctly. Join us for an interactive presentation followed by a group Q&A.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the “Inherit default layout” setting on container blocks
- Learn how to apply custom layout settings and how these settings work
- Understand why sometimes alignment/layout options are not available on certain blocks
- Learn how to use block dimensions
- Learn what Block Spacing (i.e., blockGap) is and how to use it
What is Builder Basics?
The WordPress Editor is a blank canvas that allows us to express our creativity and design beautiful layouts using blocks. However, building with blocks is a paradigm shift to traditional website design. Sometimes it can be challenging to know where to start, especially in the context of Full Site Editing.
In the “Builder Basics” series, we’ll attempt to demystify components of the building experience. From a deep dive into the Query block to an exploration of block alignment and dimensions, you’ll learn to master the basics of modern WordPress design. While some familiarity with the Editor is recommended, these sessions are designed for all skill levels and require virtually no coding.
