Hi @mbacon40.

I tested this using a Customised Twenty Twenty One and I was able to see the Template Selection dropdown.

See:

Can you please provide some more steps on how to replicate the issue you are experiencing including the version of WP and the version of Gutenberg?

Much appreciated.

Hi @moviedebuts. Sorry to hear you’re having trouble with Widgets.

I’m not sure if you’re aware but Widgets are about to have a large upgrade in WordPress 5.8 which will bring blocks to Widgets.

If you’re running the Gutenberg Plugin you may be experiencing some flux due to the number of change currently being made to get the feature ready to land in WordPress 5.8 which is due very soon.

As things stand it’s going to be difficult to help you with your issue without some additional information about your setup.

* What version of WordPress are you using?
* Are you using the Gutenberg Plugin? If so then which version?
* If you’re comfortable could you try adding some debugging to WordPress to try and see the actual error that is causing the problem?

Alternatively you can wait until WordPress 5.8 lands, update and then everything should be stable. If it’s not then one of your Plugins is probably not compatible and you will need to disable them one by one and then contact the author of the offending Plugin for assistance.

Best of luck and do let us know if you can provide any further details.

Hi @shilpakerur. I don’t see any bullets on your Galleries. I’m using Google Chrome.

Have you now resolved the problem? If not, have you got any more details on how to replicate this issue?

Many thanks

Hi @nubiesan.

Sorry to hear you’re having trouble achieving what you’d like to. I’m going to try and help a little.

First, I can’t get it to display as full width.

I think you mean that on larger screens your site doesn’t expand to fill the entire viewport area of your browser. It is “centered”.

If that’s the case then the styling rule governing this is not added by Gutenberg but by your Theme. See the screenshot below.

Personally I’d say it’s good practice to have the site centered like you have it now but it’s entirely your choice.

Next, the icons I have put into columns show up on the editing page but not in the actual page. Tried clearing cache but no luck.

How exactly are you adding these icons? If you can you share steps to reproduce and perhaps a screenshot of the editor that will help us to see what is going on here.

You might have some luck trying the Inline Image option on the heading block itself

Next, I am having issues with links. Maybe I am missing something, but if I put a link from a header, I get the link text as well as the header text. If I eliminate the header test, the link text shows up but it is underlined.

I’m not confident I fully understand the issue you’re having here. To see if it helps I’ve recorded a quick video showing how to add a link to a heading block. I hope that helps? If not then please could you try to describe step-by-step what you’re trying to achieve and I’ll try to see if I can help.

I hope the above helps. Best of luck.

Hi @quit160. I don’t have any experience with the Themes or the Plugins you reference other than the Gutenberg Plugin itself.

You also mention the term “widgets”. Do you mean “Widgets” in the WordPress sense – for example on the “Appearance -> Widgets” screen?

If you are (as I believe) referring to blocks, then I think you’re referring to the Post Navigation Link block.

I can see that with a non-blocked based Theme that block will not be available but with a block-based Theme it will be available.

Here is a link for the code which governs the availability of various blocks.

I wonder whether your two sites are using different versions of the Theme – one block based and the other not?

@coldrealms65 I took a look at this for you.

You are correct – if you are using a non-block based Theme, then Post Author and Post Comments blocks aren’t available.

However, if you activate a block based Theme such as TT1 Blocks then you will see the blocks are available.

Looking into this in more detail it appears it was decided that those blocks require more “polish” before they are included in the version of Gutenberg that will ship with Core WordPress in 5.8.

As a result, they have been moved back into the “experimental” section which means they will only appear for Themes that activate the experimental features of the Gutenberg Plugin.

I appreciate this is likely frustrating but using Gutenberg Plugin will always expose you to changes such as these. The trade off is that you get the latest features first.

If you require greater stability I’d definitely recommend using only the features of Gutenberg that come bundled with WP Core (ie: deactivate the Plugin).

So you know, these two blocks will very likely eventually be moved back out of the experimental status and thus available again with non-block based Theme in the near future.

Looking at your site I think this is typically something handled by a Theme. For example Twenty Twenty One seems to have a rule which adds spacing around images.

That said, you could try something akin to the following CSS:

.entry-content .wp-block-image figure:not(.alignfull):not(.alignwide) {
    margin-left: 20px;
    margin-right: 20px;
}

I hope that helps?

Hi @redredweb. Looking at the code it doesn’t look as though there’s currently much customisation on offer in this Block.

I was hoping we’ve been able to customise the default height but I can’t see any easy way to do that because the block hardcodes in 100vh (as you’ve found).

Unfortunately, I can’t see any way to completely disable the full height feature either as there’s not one attribute which toogles the feature on/off.

That said, it should be technically possible to add both these features to the block in the future and so it would be worth raising an Issue in the Gutenberg Repo to see if someone can help make this a reality.

In the meantime using !important in your CSS rules might allow you to over the inline styles generated by the feature.

Sorry to not be more help.

Hi there. I might be interested in creating this plugin for you.

Are you still in the market?
