Description
Scintilla Blocks extends the WordPress block editor with powerful per-block responsive controls and a clean admin dashboard — no page builders, no bloat.
Features
- Responsive Spacing — add per-breakpoint padding and margin to any block directly from the Inspector panel (Desktop / Tablet / Mobile tabs).
- Admin Dashboard — enable or disable controls for each registered block type with a single toggle.
- Global Settings — configure tablet and mobile breakpoints from one central place.
- Live Preview — spacing values update instantly in the editor as you switch between device preview modes.
- ww.wp.xz.cn Ready — clean code, no external dependencies, GPL-2.0-or-later licensed.
- Lightweight — inline CSS is only emitted for blocks that have spacing values set; zero extra HTTP requests on the front end.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin slow down my site?
-
No. Inline
<style>tags are injected only for blocks that have spacing values set, and only the properties you define are emitted. There are no external CSS files loaded on the front end. -
Can I disable controls for specific block types?
-
Yes. Open Scintilla Blocks Block Controls in the admin and toggle off any block. Disabled blocks will not show the Responsive Spacing panel in the editor and will have no inline styles applied on the front end.
-
How do I change the tablet or mobile breakpoints?
-
Go to Scintilla Blocks Global Settings and enter your desired breakpoint values (supports px, em, rem). Save, and all future block renders will use the new breakpoints.
-
Will existing spacing values break if I disable a block?
-
The saved attribute values remain in the post data but will not be rendered on the front end while the block is disabled. Re-enabling the block will restore output immediately.
-
Is this compatible with Full Site Editing (FSE) / Site Editor?
-
Yes. The plugin hooks into
enqueue_block_editor_assetsandrender_block, which work in both the post editor and the site editor.
