This was fantastic, just the kind of demos I need to see!

[@lloqalla]

this is awesome I am 10 minutes in and have already learned a lot! you are stating what I have suspected about media/text block, too dumbed down!

[@GrantAmbrose]

We need a keyboard shortcut for copying and pasting styles

Insightful and well worth the time if you're getting started like me.

Actually I found that you can just add a bottom (and top) margin around the buttons and that keeps them from bleeding to the bottom on mobile! No CSS required.

Why does it add padding if you set a background color? I was experiencing that today and thought it was a bug

[@Bettermediaoptions]

Hi, thank you for creating this video. Does it matter where we stick these lines of code in our style sheet for them to work on Wordpress? I tried this with the exact lines and the column would not reverse.

[@antoniao7439]

Would you also be able to add css to add padding on the mobile version of the media and text block?

[@street2030]

my theme doesnt have as much dimensions and paading as yours for columns. Do i need to add a plugin? which plugin? thanks

[@YurecNick]

and what to do if you need to use a theme, but because of the css introduced, the blocks on the site are not displayed correctly??

Hi, thanks for the video. I added some custom css in Customize and then typed class name into the row element in Templates section. Unfortunately then I clicked Apply globally button and the same class was applied to ALL elements. There is no undo button for this. How do I undo this global change?

[@WordPress]

There is not currently a revision history option for the Site Editor (slated for v6.3) so it may be easiest to edit the CSS to use a different class name, and then use that new class in your row element instead.

@@WordPress Thanks for the response but my problem is that I want to remove the changes from all the elements it applied it to globally. I want them back plain. Is there a place in mysql db I can clear this?

[@WordPress]

That's hard to troubleshoot here. Please post in our support forums (wordpress.org/support/forums/), and the community members will help you out!

@@WordPress thanks. I solved it for now by creating a child theme.

That works!
