Thank you. I made some changes. Very helpfull. Somehow I do not have the button when I select a group block to set the full width, wide width and normal width. I setup a test website and used the default 2022, 2023 and 2024 theme. Installed the Gutenberg editor changed view settings. It is visible when I select a title or featured image, but not the group block.... any ideas how to get this button active?

@ohia56547 ай бұрын
This was definitely useful but I wish you would have showed us how that full width group behaved if you had made it Normal, Wide, and then back to Full. I've been working A LOT in the block editor lately and those settings are a bit confusing especially when you can then make custom page templates and have those a different widths. This is definitely inspiration to go set up a site clean install and play with just these elements and see how they react. Thanks for another stellar video dewd!

Super helpful Jaime, more fog has lifted 👍I think your video also highlights how unnecessarily confusing WP is at times, the drop down setting is labelled "None" and the sidebar setting for the same thing is labelled "Content", I think it would have been a lot easier to understand if they had called both of these "normal" as in normal width, as per your explanation, which makes a lot more sense. PS- if you have the time a video on building a Header would be super useful, especially the difference between Rows and Columns and how you get content to sit in the right place within the header.

Thanks Jamie. This is Stephan from Germany. I really like your channel and learned a lot. Just one question: What do you think is the best size for content width and wide width? I`ve read a lot different opinions....
@Hanneslsm7 ай бұрын
Not Jamie, but let me answer your question: It depends on the content. If it's text, it even depends on the font size and even language. A rule of thumb is about 40 - 75 characters per line for western languages. 600-640px for the content width is mostly a good value when using standard font sizes (e.g. 16px). Wide width is then just your preferences.

I'm in WP 6.6, Twenty Twenty Four theme, and I added a group block to the Pages template. However, contrary to what is shown in the video at 4:00, there is no button in the toolbar to set the block to None, Full, or Wide layout. I have to uncheck the Constrain Inner Blocks toggle and set each child to Wide width individually. I feel I should be able to set the group block width and all the children will default to the parent's width. Where is my button? What's weird is my posts template group defaults to wide width. I don't get it and I've spent hours trying to figure it out. It's simple yet maddening things like this that make people throw up their hands at FSE, while I can put together a site in 2 days with full styling from scratch using a classic theme.

So, lots of things for me to learn, and videos like yours are really helpful in that regard! (Still hoping to have a video comparing the Spectra One and Ollie themes one day - I'll probably go for one of those themes for my site, but I'm not sure which is the best - Spectra One also has the Spectra Pro addon, which gives it some nice extra features, but the Ollie website says they're working on releasing their own addon sometime soon)
