No space in left/right side on default editor
8 replies · Started by John on May 29, 2022
Hello
I am facing a strange issue.
When I create a new post, I see there is blank space on the left and right sides in the WordPress post editor.
Please check the screenshot https://prnt.sc/k4wU8X-ybbKU
These spaces are only visible when I create new posts.
But When I try to edit my previously drafted posts or published posts. There is no blank space on the left and right sides.
Please check this screenshot https://prnt.sc/hJw5uKnZCRuX
So It looks messy to me.
I want to keep blank space on both sides.
Thanks
Hi John,
Any chance you can provide admin access to your site and link 2 posts that we can see the different editors?

Hi Ying,
Thanks for your response. I have provided all the details, you can check now.
As I mentioned earlier, Space is only visible for the first time so you can not see the exact issue If I create any posts from my end.
So, It's better if you can test by yourself by creating new posts or edit my one of published/drafted posts.
Thanks
Hi John,
I was able to replicate the issue. Specifically, I created a test Post as you’ve mentioned, and viewed it through editing afterwards.
Creation: https://share.getcloudapp.com/9Zuo2AXg
Editing: https://share.getcloudapp.com/8Lu0QJPK
I’ve placed the post I created in trash.
As a first course of debugging to see if any of the plugins you have is causing this issue, can you try #1 here?: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/debugging-tips/
It would be best to take a backup of you site before doing so.
Kindly let us know how it goes.
Hi,
Tried, Deactivated all plugins except GenerateBlocks, GP premium, and WP show posts
But Still, the issue persists.
You can check it now. rest of the plugins are deactivated.
Follow up,
I have kept my site backup.
You can do anything(install/remove plugins) to identify the issues.
Sorry, I just realized that you have a Layout Element: https://share.getcloudapp.com/YEukmA7B
When creating a Post, the Layout Element you have that alters the Container width isn’t applied yet.
Once it’s created, the Contained width value in Layout Element you have set reflects on the Editor. This isn’t a bug. It just shows the look with the max-width set.
I find it helpful to set zoom out the view of the browser a bit. For instance on mac, press command and - at the same time.
Alternatively, you may try adding a PHP snippet like this to disable the effects of the Layout Element in the admin/Block Editor Page:
add_filter( 'generate_layout_element_display', function( $display, $element_id ) {
if ( 496 === $element_id && is_admin() ) {
$display = false;
}
return $display;
}, 10, 2 );
496 is the ID of your Layout Element: https://share.getcloudapp.com/OAu8zbwk
Adding PHP reference: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/#code-snippets
Hope this clarifies!
Solved!
Thanks a lot, Fernando
You’re welcome John! Glad to be of assistance!
