Questions

How do I access the responsive controls?

After activating the plugin, open any post or page in the Gutenberg editor. Select any block and look for the “Block Responsive” panel in the block inspector (right sidebar). You’ll see various responsive controls organized by category.

Which blocks support responsive controls?

The plugin works with all core Gutenberg blocks (blocks that start with “core/”) and WooCommerce blocks (blocks that start with “woocommerce/”). This includes paragraphs, headings, images, buttons, columns, product grids, cart blocks, checkout blocks, and many more.

Does this affect my existing content?

No, the plugin only adds controls to blocks. It doesn’t modify existing content unless you specifically use the responsive controls on blocks.

Is there a performance impact?

The plugin is optimized for performance. It only loads the necessary scripts and styles in the editor and generates minimal CSS for the frontend.

Can I disable responsive controls for specific blocks?

Yes! Since version 1.1.0, go to Settings > Block Responsive and enable or disable the responsive controls for each block type individually.

Can I change the mobile and tablet breakpoints?

Yes. By default the plugin uses 767px for mobile and 1024px for tablet, but you can set your own custom breakpoints from Settings > Block Responsive to match your theme’s responsive design.

Can I control which users can customize blocks?

Yes. From the settings dashboard you can choose which user roles are allowed to use the responsive controls in the block editor.

Can I move my settings to another site?

Yes. The settings dashboard includes import and export options, so you can download your configuration as a JSON file and import it on another site.
