Responsive Image Align for Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile

  • I just want to do something in 5.9 that seems so simple. I just want an image to be justified left in its block container on desktop and on tablet, but centered on mobile.

    Why is this so hard to do with the default blocks and tools?

    I really don’t want to be forced to make a media query and adjust through CSS.

    I mean, this is the kind of thing other people face on a daily basis, right? Why isn’t it front and center on block layout?

    I just don’t understand…

    Responsiveness is theme dependent. If your chosen theme already supports this it would be simple. Themes accomplish this with media queries and CSS, so that’s what you’re left with if your theme doesn’t already do this. Your only choices are to either find a theme that already does what you want, or apply custom CSS to do so.

    I can think of at least one way to implement a simple system that would allow you to set different settings for different viewpoints. It’s not the type of thing that is unfamiliar to the WordPress world. I find it disappointing.

    Do you know where we are expected to put this CSS with FSE and 5.9 since the Editor disappears and the themes customizer doesn’t have one anymore and there doesn’t seem to be any word on using child themes anymore or not?

    If the expectation is I am supposed to add my own CSS, I would be happy to know the expected method of doing so. Thanks!

    Have a look at

    State of the Customizer with block themes in WordPress 5.9

    It says if you register a callback to the “customize_register” action the customizer will return. Then you can use the Additional CSS section. I don’t think the callback needs to do anything, the act of hooking the action should be enough (unverified).
