    Hello,

    I started a New site on my WP hosted elsewhere. In the Dashboard, I click on Add new page. I close the ‘Choose a pattern’ without selecting any of them. I get a blank page with ‘Add a title’ prompt. If I insert an image, I am able to have it use Full width but adding a Paragraph I don’t see any options to use full width. On Block options I have these options; Color, Typography, Size, Dimensions and Advance. If I click on ‘Page’ I see these; Status: Draft, Publish: Immediately, Link: /9, Template: Pages, Parent: None, Order: 0. How/Where can I use the full width for Paragraph?

  • In WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), you can use the Full Width alignment option for certain blocks, like images or cover blocks, but for Paragraph blocks, this option may not appear by default, depending on the theme you’re using. Here are steps to enable full-width or wide-width for a paragraph block:Steps to Enable Full Width for Paragraph Block:

    1. Check Your Theme Support: Not all WordPress themes support full-width alignment for all blocks. If your theme doesn’t support this, you may need to modify it or choose a theme that does. To check if your theme supports full-width:
      • Go to Appearance > Theme Editor.
      • Look for add_theme_support('align-wide'); in your functions.php file. If it’s missing, add it.
    function mytheme_setup() {
    add_theme_support('align-wide');
    }
    add_action('after_setup_theme', 'mytheme_setup');

    Use Group Block for Full Width: If your theme supports wide/full-width blocks, but the Paragraph block doesn’t show the option directly, you can:

    • Wrap the Paragraph inside a Group block.
    • Then set the Group block to full-width.

    Here’s how:

    • In the editor, insert a Group block.
    • Inside the Group block, insert your Paragraph block.
    • Click on the Group block (not the paragraph), and in the toolbar, you should see the Full Width option.

    Custom CSS Option: If the above steps don’t work or your theme doesn’t support full-width, you can add custom CSS to force the paragraph to full width.

    Here’s how to do it:

    • In your WordPress Dashboard, go to Appearance > Customize.
    • Click on Additional CSS.
    • Add the following CSS to make paragraphs full width:
    .wp-block-group {
    width: 100%;
    max-width: none;
    }

    .wp-block-group p {
    max-width: 100%;
    }
    1. Full Width Page Template: Some themes include a Full Width page template. You can select it from the page’s Template settings:
      • On the right-hand sidebar, click on Page settings.
      • Under Template, look for a “Full Width” template option. If available, select it to apply a full-width layout to your page.

    If you still don’t see the full-width option for paragraphs after trying these methods, you might need to adjust or change your theme to one that better supports Gutenberg’s full-width features.
