Stretching row for the footer

Hi there! Whether or not a block is able fill the entire width of the browser window is generally controlled by your theme. For example, some themes have a fixed width that will prevent full-width blocks from completely filling the browser width. In order to haveefull-width blocks that take up 100% of the width of the browser window, it’s best to use a newer theme that is fully compatible with the block editor.

Could you provide a link to your site?

What theme are you using?

Thanks!

@zoonini Kathryn, I use default 2022 wordpress theme. This “site” is kind of an experiment, so it is “closed” by “maintenance mode”. But if you would like — I can give you an access.

Before of this, I tried to edit default footer — and it has the same issue: I can’t fill 100% width of browser if I add new row (but I can do this with the row that already exists!)

Hi there, thanks for sharing those details.

When you add your two-column block to the Footer template, be sure to select the Columns block in order to find the Full-Width option on the blocks’s toolbar, as you see here:

Choosing that option allowed me to create a full-width block that stretches to fill the entire width of the browser window:

@zoonini Kathryn, thanks for keeping answering my questions.

Here’s screen video. I thought this is Gutenberg issue, but please advise should I keep asking here or better to go to the 2022 topic?

@zoonini Kathryn, I really need your help since I don’t understand what is wrong. I made one more test installation of the wordpress, I tried to deactivate Gutenberg plugin — nothing helps. The button that should control full width is just missing!

Hi @goutm – for security reasons I’m not able to download that file, but do feel free to upload it to a service where the video is embedded directly, like Droplr – https://d.pr/ – or to provide a screenshot via https://snipboard.io/

In the screenshot, please open up the List view and block settings panel on the right so it’s clear which block you’re selecting.

Hej @zoonini !

Thanks for the video. I’m still not sure why you’re missing the Alignment options on the Columns blocks.

Could you please confirm:

– What version of WordPress are you using? I’m using 6.0.
– Which template or template part are you editing?

In my testing, editing the Footer template part worked perfectly, as you can see in my screenshot above. Can you try clearing the customizations made to the Footer template part and try again?

I’m unsure why alignment option is missed too!

I confirm that I’m using WP 6

In that video I’m editing template part Footer NEW, that I created by myself.

Interesting part: as I said before, if I edit the footer that comes with 2022 theme, I do have Alignment options for the “rows” that had already been there. But no Alignment options for any “rows” I will create by myself.

Hi there, thanks for the additional details!

Thanks for clarifying, I had missed that detail before. I’ve now been able to replicate the issue you’re experiencing and I’ve gone ahead and reported it in the Gutenberg GitHub repository here:

https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/41579

Thanks, @zoonini ! Unfortunately, I’m not in programming at all, so I do not have GitHub account.

I can only add, that this issue remain no matter Gutenberg plugin is installed or not — I tried both.

Hi there, no worries about not having a GitHub account – you can return manually to the ticket to check whether there’s been any movement on it. Cheers!
