[Resolved] Editing blocks for different devices

[Simon]

Hi

Another dumb question from me, sorry 🙁

When editing a block the options for all devices, tablet and mobile: can each one be saved so they appear differently for each device?

I’ve done a quick screen share so you can see what I mean.

The reason I ask, is if I edit something for mobile view it changes the layout for the desktop as well.

Thanks!

Hi Simon,

can each one be saved so they appear differently for each device?

The responsive settings you see is for the container block which is a GenerateBlocks block, it will not apply to the WP core blocks, eg. paragraph block, heading blocks, image blocks, etc.

If you want to have different the responsive settings, try using the headline block of GenerateBlocks instead of paragraph and heading, GB also has image blocks.

All the GB blocks icons are blue, not black.

Hi Ying
Thanks for that.
I believe to have used the GP headlines although the layout replicates from desktop to mobile. I’ve done a quick screen share so you can see what I mean here:

Thanks for your help.

*** Edit ***
I think I have got it Ying?! I guess I was thinking that the desktop, tablet and mobile optimization options loaded a different version of the block depending on how I was editing and saving. But it doesn’t. It allows you to alter things like padding.
So the way to deal with lots of characters in one continuous line for desktop and split it for mobile view is to alter the size of the text and spacing – not add a new headline.

That’s correct!

Glad you’ve figured it out 🙂
