I am trying to set the width of a custom block in a Wordpress Plugin. When I look at the CSS on the front end with the developer tools I am seeing this
element {
}
:where(body .is-layout-constrained) > :last-child:last-child {
margin-block-end: 0;
}
:where(body .is-layout-constrained) > :first-child:first-child {
margin-block-start: 0;
}
body .is-layout-constrained > :where(:not(.alignleft):not(.alignright):not(.alignfull)) {
max-width: var(--wp--style--global--content-size);
margin-left: auto !important;
margin-right: auto !important;
}
.wp-block-create-block-my-custom-block {
...
max-width: 100%;
...
}
...
As you can see the is-layout-constrained
class is taking precedent over my wp-block-create-block-my-custom-block
.
I would like the block to be able to expand and fill the width of the page.
I have seen some information involving the theme.json
but as far as I can tell those solutions only work for themes not for plugins.
I can set the --wp--style--global--content-size
variable in my wp-block-create-block-my-custom-block
class but this does not feel like the "correct" solution.
What is the correct way to set the max-width
in a Wordpress Plugin?
In block.json you can set an "align" property under "supports":
{
...
"supports": {
"align": ["full", "wide"]
}
...
}
This will add a button to the block toolbar that allows you to set the width of the block.
