Block & Styles Settings Interface

  • Is there any way to control the behavior of the block and styles settings interface in full site editing? It seems like I am constantly having to use the drop down menu for Typography or Dimensions in order to have access to controls over margins, padding, font appearance, etc. Every time I switch to a different block to edit, the interface reverts to some minimal set of options which I have to reset. If it matters I am working with the Twenty-Twenty Three theme in Local on my desktop. The only plug-ins I have active are Fonts Plugin, Guttenberg, and Stick Block.

    Hi @richardpatterson You’ve definitely raised a good point here. For what it is worth – the way those controls for settings are hidden/shown by default is something that is being worked on currently.

    Currently, a decision has been made about what the highest-use controls/settings are for certain blocks – and those are the ones shown by default.

    In addition – if there have been changes made to Block type in the Site Editor > Styles settings – that control will show by default in the editor on pages and posts.

    In your particular case – I’d expect any settings control you had made changes to for a block to still show when you come back to it – is that the case?

    Thanks. I definitely think there are more elegant ways to hide/show controls, and assumptions about which control I am going to want to use are not helpful.

    I’m not sure what you mean by “changes made to Block type.” Is there a way I can make global style changes for a paragraph block in full-site editing?

    If you’re using a Block-theme then it is absolutely possible to set styles like that on a global basis.

    You can find out a heap more about managing Styles for Block themes here:

    More specifically – there’s details on how to change the default settings for ‘Text’ here:

    I can’t find the place to edit blocks. The documentation on Styles says”You will also find a section for?Blocks. Clicking on the?Blocks?section will show you a list of all the blocks.” Where am I supposed to see a section for Blocks listing all the Blocks. All I can find is a way to edit the blocks on my home page.

    I think I found the list of blocks, but I am not sure a change there is globally applied. If I have previously set a style for an individual block, does it still override the new global style setting. If so, is there a way to reset all the styles to the global default or do I have to reset each block to default individually.
