Gutenberg CSS Grid Layout Block in GP

    Hi
    I have been trying to use the Gutenberg Grid block on my GeneratePress/GenenerateBlocks site but it does not work properly. I tested it on a clean new site with the Twenty Twenty-Four theme and there it works fine.
    The issue is that wehn I select a stack within the Grid block not all options are available (border and radius, for example.
    Is there some kind of a conflict between this Grid blocka and the GP theme and is there a way to work around it?
    With best regards

    Hi there,

    WP does not have a Grid block, do you mean the Columns block? If so, yes, the theme does not add the support.

    If you want to you can activate it by adding this PHP:
    add_theme_support( 'appearance-tools' );

    To add more support for WP blocks: https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/how-to-guides/themes/theme-support/

    However, why not use GB’s Grid block?

    Hi Ying
    I am referring to the Grid block that one gets by installing the Gutenberg (18.1.1 – development plugin for the block editor).
    See for example “WordPress Gutenberg CSS Grid Builder is here” by Jamie Marsland.

    I just wanted to test using it but it did not work on my main site with the GeneratePress theme. I was however able to test it on a site with the 2024 theme so this is not a big issue. I was just curious why it did not work.

    Oh you mean the Gutenberg plugin? Are you aware that plugin is for testing new features purpo, it will always have bugs, and I would not recommend using it on a live site. But if you just want to test the new features, then that’s fine.

    Yes, I was just curious and was testing:)
    One final question before closing this ticket

    I have also been testing some new features in GenerateBlocks 1.9 (and Pro 1.7) on a development site
    When do you expect that these versions will be released as the stable versions?

    With best regards and thanks for the support

    They are now in rc state and are already pretty stable, it won’t be long from now, but I’m not sure of the exact timing, unfortunately, it depends on whether more bugs are discovered during the rc state.
