How to set default padding on Container Block in GenereateBlocks

Hi there,

It's not possible currently but it will certainly be in the future (likely in the pro version).

We actually just worked out the kinks that will make this possible recently :)

Thanks Leo. Looking forward to the pro version.

Us too!

Hi Mark, Leo

I share the need to remove that automated 40px padding.

There is a solution from Tom here: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/generateblocks-default-padding-issues/

I have successfully used it to put this code in a Code Snippet:

// Cancels the GP automated 40px padding.
add_filter( 'generateblocks_defaults', function( $defaults ) {
    $defaults['container']['paddingTop'] = '0';
    $defaults['container']['paddingRight'] = '0';
    $defaults['container']['paddingBottom'] = '0';
    $defaults['container']['paddingLeft'] = '0';

    return $defaults;
} );

It also impacts on the block editor, removing the padding, and making it impossible to see the containers. I struggled for a while... So the key point is to set the snippet to 'Only run on site front end'.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Simon!

Thanks! This is exactly what I needed!

The default.php file might help if you need to set more default:

Thanks.

Is there a way to add just the edited section of default.php, to replace/run only that section, to Code Snippets?

I.e. In this example relevant code change would be:

'paddingTop' => 0,
'paddingRight' => 0,
'paddingBottom' => 0,
'paddingLeft' => 0,

Failing that - how to add the entire file in code snippets, not conflict with existing?

This way it could persist between updates.

The filter solution provided above is the best :)

Haha, because that's exactly what I was asking for.
Having some sleep helped, with the whole making-sense-of-things-caper.
Thanks :)

No problem :)

Interesting thread. Any ideas on changing default container padding just for mobile?

Take a look at this:

Please open a support topic in GB's support forum if you need further help:

We are trying to build a knowledge base there as well.

Thanks!
