You can edit block content within each element. To set up the whole block or parent block options, be sure to look into the Block Settings sidebar. 1. USING TESTIMONIALS From the block’s top left toolbar, you can either select parent block or individual block to find its respective settings. Set the total of testimonials: Once the whole parent block is selected, look for “Testimonial Count” to edit the number of items. Change the order of testimonials by dragging and dropping each item in the block settings sidebar. Parent block appearance: Carousel: Enable autoplay, edit transition speed, and more. Dimensions: Modify the spacing to fit your design needs. Edit testimonial content in the nested blocks: Customize rating and additional CSS Edit name, title, avatar, and testimonial text. 2. USING PRICING BLOCK There is a parent block, which contains the multi-column table layout, and the nested blocks. Parent block appearance: Design and edit heading, subheading, and description. Adjust pricing card layout and style. Typography, text color, background color, and custom formatting. Enhance responsiveness by enabling stack on mobile. Highlighted card: Pick the pricing card to stand out and how you want to highlight it. Tweak the color and format of the price display.

A layout builder is a tool that helps you creating visual structures in your page, from a simple layout made by adjacent columns, to more complex compositions. Grids is entirely based on the WordPress block editor, which means that you’ll be able to use it together with the myriad of content blocks that developers and designers from all around the World are creating. With Grids, we’re bringing a visual structure to the content written with the WordPress Block Editor. 👉 Sections & areas A Section is a portion of the page that aims at being visually distinct from the rest of the content. Sections are usually top-level blocks that you add one after the other; the sequence of sections is what makes your page layout. Each Section that you create is composed by several different Areas. In their most basic form, you can think of Areas as columns, which are nothing else than containers for content blocks. For more elaborated compositions, the Grid Designer allows you to create exactly the grid structure you want within the boundaries of a Section, by using CSS Grid. 👉 Want to know more?

POSSIBLY BREAKING CHANGES: In this version, we have removed the global page setting that allowed for the editor area to be wider when editing a page with the Block Editor. We feel that this should be better handled by the theme itself, especially if it supports the Full Site Editing mode. We have also removed the global page setting that determined the horizontal gutter between areas. This is now handled individually by Section blocks (look for Gap settings). As before, both horizontal and vertical gaps are subject to media queries. We have removed the grids-s-$section_id and grids-a-$area_id classes from their respective elements, since they were no longer needed to generate the element’s style. If you need to specifically identify a section or area, you can use their custom class/anchor controls provided by the Block Editor. 👉 1.2.28 ENHANCEMENT: Added the ability to specify the types of blocks allowed in content areas of a section through the grids/area filter.
