</html>
```

		display:inline-block;
		text-decoration:none;
		width:425px;
		height:425px;
		margin:1px;

Hi there,

I would use a different selector other than container – maybe block-container?

Then you could do this:
```
.block-container {
    display: flex;
}

.block-container a {
    width: 33%;
}
```

Hi @Tom.
Perfect more o less, but if I want to put picture and text inside of every block, how can I do?

You’d need to use HTML img tag:

Your image src needs to be the full link to the file.

Doesn’t look like you are very comfortable with HTML so it might be easier to consider using a block plugin like GhostKit or Kadence block to replace Sections + HTML?

Another good option is to use a page builder like beaver builder or elementor.

It will make your life much easier 🙂

Or you will need to go through a course like this one:

We can only help with theme related questions and not general HTML tutorials.

I put the full link and it doesn’t work

Maybe my life is easier but I want to learn to make without a page builder the site is faster with less plugins.
I tried to work with GhostKit or Kadence but I didn’t find a block with this structure.

Section/block put inside three or more blocks and inside every block put background image, text with a link, etc
In fact, all pages were made with block, but the main was made with sections.
Perhaps in the future, the sections will work with Gutenberg’s block

Thanks and stay in touch

Have you tried using the Columns block along with the Cover block? They’re both core Gutenberg blocks and should do what you’re looking for.

Hi Tom, yes I tried on some page I worked with columns, but it didn’t work in section I made the main page with sections.
Thanks.

When you say Sections, do you mean the GP Premium module? If so, that would require some HTML/CSS knowledge to set up – I think it would be much easier to go the Gutenberg route. You can use the “Group” block to set up your sections.

Hi there
in the last section of my website at the end there is a possibility that the green box is centered, as you can see when uploading the whole section is hidden, is it possible?

Thanks

I’m not sure I understand – are we talking about the Google Ads section? If so, it looks centered to me.

rafel jesus

Yes Google Ads section, centered the greenbox.

Here’s what I’m seeing right now: https://www.screencast.com/t/pcwVdUtVF

Are you wanting to make it less wide, maybe?

Let me know 🙂

Hi Tom
No, you can see in the last section Google Ads when the scroll finish the green box disappear, there is any way what the green box move while the section move until the final and stay centered.
same like that
