FAQ

How do I access the responsive controls?

After activating the plugin, open any post or page in the Gutenberg editor. Select any block and look for the “Block Responsive” panel in the block inspector (right sidebar). You’ll see various responsive controls organized by category.

Which blocks support responsive controls?

The plugin works with all core Gutenberg blocks (blocks that start with “core/”) and WooCommerce blocks (blocks that start with “woocommerce/”). This includes paragraphs, headings, images, buttons, columns, product grids, cart blocks, checkout blocks, and many more.

Does this affect my existing content?

No, the plugin only adds controls to blocks. It doesn’t modify existing content unless you specifically use the responsive controls on blocks.

Is there a performance impact?

The plugin is optimized for performance. It only loads the necessary scripts and styles in the editor and generates minimal CSS for the frontend.

Can I disable responsive controls for specific blocks?

Currently, all core blocks will have the responsive controls available. Future versions may include options to disable controls for specific blocks.

What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

Your content will remain intact, but any responsive styling applied through the plugin will no longer be visible. The blocks will display with their default styling.

As i am trying to get the most out of the basic blocks, this plugin is very useful. A indicator icon on the setting modals where there are changed values and also on the device icons within would be big usability improvement. also small bug, i cannot overwrite the single column block width. would be quite usefull to controll it via the fixed width dimension. thanks Sheikh!
