Title: Alignment problems Last modified: July 19, 2024 --- # Alignment problems * Resolved [51m0n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/51m0n/) * (@51m0n) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alignment-problems-13/) * Hello * Having used WordPress for many years I’m now switching over the the block editor and I’m able to figure out most things for myself but I’m struggling with the alignment of blocks in the header and body of my pages. You can see this problems if you go to our village hall’s homepage at [sandhamhall.org.uk](https://sandhamhall.org.uk) and widen the browser window. When you do this the header elements and the title block drift over to the right. I’ve checked all the alignment settings I can find but can’t fix this. * I’m using the twenty twenty three theme. * Any help would be much appreciated. - This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by [51m0n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/51m0n/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Falignment-problems-13%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [Saviour Ukpong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/empsaviour/) * (@empsaviour) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alignment-problems-13/#post-17901488) - For text-based blocks like paragraphs and headings, you can use the alignment toolbar that appears above the block. Options include left, center, and right alignment. - For image blocks, you can also align images left, center, right, or make them full-width or wide-width. * If the built-in alignment options don’t provide the control you need, you can use custom CSS to achieve the desired layout. Hope this helps. * Thread Starter [51m0n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/51m0n/) * (@51m0n) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alignment-problems-13/#post-17901840) * [@empsaviour](https://wordpress.org/support/users/empsaviour/) – thanks for your response. This is much appreciated. I’ve tried all the alignment options you mention. * Is it really the case that I have to master custom CSS (which I have no skills in) to simply align all blocks to the left and keep them there when I widen the browser window? * [Saviour Ukpong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/empsaviour/) * (@empsaviour) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alignment-problems-13/#post-17902740) * [@51m0n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/51m0n/) So sorry for the inconvenience experienced. yes you may need to know how to do basic custom CSS. * [Aaron Robertshaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aaronrobertshaw/) * (@aaronrobertshaw) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alignment-problems-13/#post-17906883) * Hi [@51m0n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/51m0n/), from a quick look at your site, I believe you should be able to achieve your desired layout without any custom CSS. * If I’m understanding correctly, the “drifting right” you mentioned is because the header template part for TwentyTwentyThree has a Group block in it that is set to “wide” alignment. This means there is a limit to how wide that group can be on the page. When the page is wider than the wide alignment, it will be centred on the page. * The content under the header template part, including what’s on, the events, slideshow etc., appear to not be constrained by any alignment. The footer template part also has a wide alignment around its contents like the header does. * If you’d like the header and footer content to stretch the full width of the page as the content does, they’ll just need their inner group block alignments set to “Full width”. This can be done via the block toolbar once you’ve selected the appropriate group block. * I hope that helps 🤞 * Thread Starter [51m0n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/51m0n/) * (@51m0n) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alignment-problems-13/#post-17907026) * Hello [@aaronrobertshaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aaronrobertshaw/) * Thank you very much for taking the time to help out.
