 * Hi I am using the twenty seventeen theme and I am trying to insert borders around
   sections.
 * What I am doing: First of all I am updating everything visually (not html)
 * In the Block option I am clicking on Style > Border > I am changing border width
   to 1 (on all four sides) and colour black on a white background.
 * In this way I can see the border in the editor page and when I click on ‘Preview’
   I can see the border correctly. However when I click on ‘Update’ no border is
   visible in the updated page. I tried repeating this multiple times just in case
   I had a temporary problem but it is not successful.
 * Is this a bug? Can it be fixed please?
 * Thanks

 * Hello [@adminmyloyhealth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adminmyloyhealth/),
 * Which kind of block element are you trying to add a border to? As far as I know,
   the common Gutenberg blocks using Twenty Seventeen don’t have any options for
   borders.
 * Your site looks like it’s using Elementor? Perhaps you are using Elementor to
   make your borders?
 * Please check with Elementor’s forum for help.

 * Good luck!

 * Hello [@mlchaves](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mlchaves/),
 * Thanks for your reply. Till a few weeks ago I was using WordPress Classic Editor
   and then I upgraded to WordPress 5.4 and I got the blocks system and that is 
   what I am using now. As activated plugins I have Orbit Fox Companion and Image
   Optimisation service by Optimole.
 * The block element I am adding the border to is a section. These are the details
   for this block: “Add a Section block that displays content in multiple columns,
   then add whatever content blocks you’d like.”
 * Can you help with this information please?
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@adminmyloyhealth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adminmyloyhealth/),
 * Sorry, I don’t see a **Section** block in my Gutenberg.
 * I don’t think that’s a standard Gutenberg block. Do you know where you got that
   section block from?
 * Maybe here?

 * Or, maybe here?

 * Do you have a screengrab?
 * Thanks!
