full width Box Element in normal post
13 replies · Started by Marius on July 27, 2019
When using sections, it is possible to make a Box type full width.
Is it possible to insert such an full width element in a normal blog post? This would be great for tables or such things, that need more space.
Hi there,
Unfortunately, that is not possible without Sections currently.
We are actively working a section type block plugin which will make this possible.
Stay tuned :)
Ok, this sounds like a very usefull plugin. Looking forward to that.
But for now: If I make a section blog post, how can I prevent a after main content element from being also full width?
Not sure if I fully understand.
The box type (full width/contained) in Sections can be adjusted individually for each section added:

Or am I missing something here?
I know, that the sections can be adjusted individually. But I have a after main content element, which automatically is full with, if use sections.
If I don´t use sections, then this element is contained. I want, that this element is contained if I use sections.
Can you link me to a page with that element, possibly?
Let me know :)
I have edited the original post with a URL, where you can see this element. This is a relatet post element after content.
If I make a post with sections, then this is also stretched to full width, which looks ugly.
Maybe it is better to wait for the plugin, Leo mentioned. Do you have an idea, when this plugin gets published?
Hi there,
It doesn't look like that page is using Sections. Did you switch things up?
Let me know :)
No, it is not using sections. But you asked about this element and there it is after contentn.
The post with sections is a draft. Because of the problem I mentioned, I could not publish it and have decided to make a normal post out of it.
But I definitly need often the possibility to put a full width element in a normal post or page, so I am looking forward to the plugin.
Do you have an idea, when this plugin gets published?
Try this CSS:
.generate-sections-enabled .rpbt_shortcode {
max-width: 1200px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
We don't have a solid date for the plugin yet, but we're working hard on it.
Thanks, I will try this in the next post, where I need sections.
How do we get notified when and where this plugin will be published?
If you join our Facebook group GeneratePress Community, we will for sure announce it there :)
Hi, any news about this plugin?
Still being worked on.
We are getting close for an Alpha :)
