[Support request] WordPress 6.1 new Design Tools (border control, etc) not showing?

[Antoine]

Hi,
I keep reading about new design tools available for Gutenberg block (WP 6.1) such as border control, padding, etc.
However I don’t have any of that available on my site. Is there anything I have to do to activate them?

For example, here is what I would expect for the Column block

Here is what I have:

Thanks for your help,

Hi there,

see my reply here:

The GB Grid block has those settings and more built in.

If you want those tools with the core blocks, you can do this:

1. Install and activate the Gutenberg plugin (for now until they add support in core)
2. Add this function to your site:

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
    add_theme_support( 'appearance-tools' );
}, 20 );

You can find more info on this here: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/issues/389

Thanks David and Tom for the answers, much appreciated.

I guess I’ll wait for those tools to be “officially” integrated into GeneratePress, which I hope they will at some point.
I was just very intrigued why I couldn’t see them and wondered what was wrong.

Thanks for the clarification and the good work,
Antoine
