With Gutenberg, the editable area of a post is a tiny column in the middle. There is no way in WordPress to make the post/page editor WIDER, because that has to be THEME supported… I.e. you guys have to do it.
Could you PLEASE add a ‘full width’ option to NewsPaper so we can edit our posts in FULL WIDTH in Gutenberg, and not in a tiny little narrow column?
Documentation for you: https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/handbook/designers-developers/developers/themes/theme-support/#changing-the-width-of-the-editor
Hi,
Unfortunately, this option does not exists, sorry! If you want to make your post content to be wider, like full-width, you need to use the Cloud Template Library for that, import a Single Blank Template and customize your width using the TD Composer. (use a stretch ROW with content). Check the plugin documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Thanks for your understanding!
No that’s not what I mean.
When I use the GUTENBERG editor, the GUTENBERG editor is VERY narrow. The way the gutenberg editor work is that it get’s its width from the them. I’m aware that’s a STUPID way to do it from WordPress’ point of view, but that’s what they did. So in order to get a full width GUTENBERG editor, the theme, YOU guys, need to add a setting for that.
Look here, this width is what the THEME needs to set after WordPress 5.0
Hi,
Unfortunately, if you want to use the single post in full width, you need to create a single cloud template and set up the Stretch Row with content and then, you will achieve a full width content for your website. Please check the documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/ Check here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/tRbweYFfxDm
Thanks for your understanding!
No, you are still misunderstanding. Look at the screenshot I sent. The problem is not PUBLISHING, the problem is the Gutenberg EDITOR in WordPress require that you set the width. I.e. the problem is in the ADMIN panel, WordPress now require the theme to set the editor width, unlike with older versions of wordpress where it “just worked”.
I have NO problem publishing full width to my site, this is about EDITING.
Hi,
Sorry for my misunderstanding! Indeed, our theme has own style for Gutenberg editor which can be changed from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/sP4wrd7m
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
Ah OK, that will probably work, except that every time I update the theme I’ll loose that setting. Could you add it to your configuration UI please so it’s saved?
Hi,
Yes, for each update, you will lose this modification, sorry! I have added to our list of improvements but we cannot say for sure if it will be or not be considered for our future updates.
Thank you!
Seems like a simple setting to add 🙂 (I’m a software Architect)
Is it still possible to make the editor wider? Because I do not see that line in .css file right now
Hi,
Now you can increase the width directly from Gutenberg like this -> https://i.imgur.com/xoWAvIr.png
Thank you!
So I have to manually edit every block in the post? It’s really inconvenient for everyday use
Hi,
That option will reflect the in post cont in your website too, not only on backend.
If you want to increase the width only on backend Gutenberg editor, then you can do it only from theme file -> https://i.imgur.com/JEN6Q1d.png -> wp-content/themes/Newspaper/gutenberg-editor.css
Thank you!
Dead right – there’s a lot about Newspaper Cloud Templates that causes more trouble than it saves. These problems don’t occur if you avoid Cloud Templates and use Theme Panel settings only. Which is a pity, because customisation is good. I agree Newspaper should be able to circumvent this. It’s their theme messing up WP.
Calin – you need to adjust the theme permanently. Whoever designed this obviously isn’t an editor, potentially dealing with thousands of words a day. This is a very basic bug, reducing workflow enormously.
Calin – I downloaded gutenberg-editor.css by ftp but see it’s not a text file. How can I edit it?
Calin & Catalin – above you seem to give different code to adjust to widen Gutenberg blocks.
One way round this is to edit using the reliable old Style 1 and then select your template before publishing – but it’s ridiculous hack.
Now I see block width seems to be an intermittent problem. It only occurs for me using any custom post template (never did with standard Theme Panel post templates) but not always. I haven’t figured out what triggers it. For now just another of the vagaries of the wayward world of Newspaper templates.
Hi Mark Gilbert,
There is no need to download any Gutenberg plugin, you need to use the one provide by WordPress, just make sure that you are using the latest version of theme and WordPress, also please note that if you are using WP Bakery is not recommended to use tagDiv Cloud Library, you need to choose one of them.
If the problem persist, please set this code in functions.php -> wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/functions.php
add_action(‘admin_head’,function() {
echo ‘<style>.td-gutenberg-editor .editor-styles-wrapper .wp-block {max-width:726px;}</style>’;
});
Or you can send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login, as well as cPanel or FTP if possible. We will take a look. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Thank you for your understanding!
