Howdy, often I am needing to change the alignment of a page or post title to center, but not always.
I often need to do this in CSS, especially if it’s not a global change but for certain posts.
Any thoughts on (1) offering a toggle like you have for headline blocks so the user can align the title themselves or (2) a way to add a toggle or option to the page settings in the GeneratePress section to offer an alignment option for each page?
Thanks!

Hi there,
This isn’t something we would add as an option as it’s very uncommon to do this “sometimes”.
I believe CSS is the best method here. Can you link me to the page in question so I can confirm?

It’s really any page title on a page. The problem with CSS (I understand how to do it) is the end users who don’t know CSS can’t make that call when they are creating a new page or editing content. So choosing an alignment on the page title would be a nice option to offer in the Page settings in the block editor. Shared a URL as an example.

This isn’t an option we would consider adding as it’s not useful for the majority of our users -we are very careful when adding options to keep our products optimized for performance.
If CSS doesn’t work the one other solution I can think of is to create a Block Element page hero that displays the centered page title only using the dynamic option:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-page-hero/
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/dynamic-data/#titleThen you can use the Display rules to control where you want this centered title to apply.

Thanks Leo. I currently use that method you describe, but having content editors going into Elements to do this has not been great UX. I understand it’s not a priority, I was looking for a way to potentially hook into what’s already happening here with my own toggle (like set a body class if checked)

Unfortunately that’s not possible.
Another option I can think of is whenever you want to center the content title, simply disable the default one using the Disable Elements module shown in your screenshot, then manually add the
<h1>title in the content using GB’s Headline block.That’s all the options I can think of.
Thanks for your understanding.
