Title: Cannot select the features block Last modified: April 7, 2021 --- # Cannot select the features block * Resolved [cannondale63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cannondale63/) * (@cannondale63) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-select-the-features-block/) * I installed the Coblocks plugin today – great tool, thanks! However, I can’t select the features block. Every time I hover the mouse over it, the whole block selection disappears. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I am using the latest wordpress version. * Thanks for your help. * Greetings, Dominik * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcannot-select-the-features-block%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Support [gdandrija](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gdandrija/) * (@gdandrija) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-select-the-features-block/#post-14293669) * Hey [@cannondale63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cannondale63/), I’m glad to hear you like CoBlocks, and sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing right now * I was unable to replicate it at the moment, could you please provide me with a bit more details? * Are you using the latest versions of CoBlock and WordPress and can you replicate the same issue on the default WordPress theme with other plugins temporarily disabled? * If can provide me with screenshots showing the issue as well, that could help us replicate it. * Cheers!

I am working with the Chaplin theme and would like to build a home page [like this.](https://www.andersnoren.se/themes/chaplin/) * Here the six short texts are built after the cover image with the feature block of Coblocks. But I cannot select this feature block. When I hover the mouse over the block icon, the whole block selection disappears. * [Here is a screenshot of my backend.](https://www.dropbox.com/s/36lpxigp91nnq4c/screenshot_features-block.jpg?dl=0)( Dropbox-Link) * I have disabled all plugins and the problem persists. I also tested the thing with the default theme of wordpress. * Theme and plugin are up to date. * I can give you access to my site [if you email me to this adress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-select-the-features-block/dominik.thali@bluewin.ch?output_format=md). Then you can access the backend yourself. * And just seen 1: I can’t see the “Resizable Row/Columns Blocks” block in my Coblocks list either…. * Just seen 2: What do you mean with “Install and activate the Gutenberg WordPress plugin” on the instructions for installation? There is no “Gutenberg plugin” at all, my site works with Gutenberg, right? * Another question: * [For this home page](https://www.velofahrer.ch/startseite/) (only a test) I used the posts block. But in the frontend the distances between image and text are different. What is the reason for this? * Thanks for your help, that’s great! * Dominik - This reply was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by [cannondale63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cannondale63/). - This reply was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by [cannondale63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cannondale63/). * Plugin Support [gdandrija](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gdandrija/) * (@gdandrija) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-select-the-features-block/#post-14339049) * Hey [@cannondale63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cannondale63/), please accept my sincere apologies for missing your last reply, * Thanks for the update, I will break down the mentioned questions: * Q1) Here the six short texts are built after the cover image with the feature block of Coblocks. But I cannot select this feature block. When I hover the mouse over the block icon, the whole block selection disappears. * A1) Using the screenshot provided I was able to replicate the issue on my end. If a block is selected from the sidebar, for some reason it does collapse. I will report this as an issue to our developers. In the meantime, there are 2 workarounds you can try: 1) You can use the “+” icon below the content and the selection will not disappear: [https://i.imgur.com/d5avX6n.png](https://i.imgur.com/d5avX6n.png) 2) If the Gutenberg plugin is active, the features block does not collapse. Of course, this should not be mandatory, it is just another workaround listed for the time being. * You can track the progress of the issue on the link below: [https://github.com/godaddy-wordpress/coblocks/issues/1888](https://github.com/godaddy-wordpress/coblocks/issues/1888) * Q2) I can’t see the “Resizable Row/Columns Blocks” block in my Coblocks list either… A2) What happens when you type “Row” in the block search? I can also see that this block is the list: [https://i.imgur.com/C3Bqann.png](https://i.imgur.com/C3Bqann.png) [https://i.imgur.com/fK8Xfve.png](https://i.imgur.com/fK8Xfve.png) * Q3) What do you mean with “Install and activate the Gutenberg WordPress plugin” on the instructions for installation? There is no “Gutenberg plugin” at all, my site works with Gutenberg, right? A3) Gutenberg page editor is already built- in every WordPress installation from 5.0 above. However, the Gutenberg plugin is maintained separately and extends the block editor. While we do recommend using the Gutenberg plugin, this is not mandatory as long as you are using the WordPress version above 5.0 * Q4) For this home page (only a test) I used the posts block. But in the frontend the distances between image and text are different. What is the reason for this? A4) This means that your theme has some additional styles for displaying post content, The results you get on the frontend may differ from theme to theme. * I hope this helps, let me know if you need any further clarifications. * Have a nice day, Andrija * Thread Starter [cannondale63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cannondale63/) * (@cannondale63) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-select-the-features-block/#post-14343376) * Hey Andrija * `Thank you for your detailed reply. Great! Now it works. What I did: Installed the Gutenberg plugin. * Then suddenly there were no more problems. What is strange: I deactivated the plugin after that – and it still works…. * As for the column block: I may have overlooked this one, because the translation in German is wrong. There “row” is translated with ” Zeile”. But that in turn is called in English “line”. * So everything is perfect at the moment and I can build my start page. * Thanks again and all the best, Dominik Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) The topic ‘Cannot select the features block’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/coblocks/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=2243972) * [Page Builder Gutenberg Blocks – CoBlocks](https://wordpress.org/plugins/coblocks/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/coblocks/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/coblocks/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/coblocks/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/coblocks/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/coblocks/reviews/) * 4 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [cannondale63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cannondale63/) * Last activity: [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-select-the-features-block/#post-14343376) * Status: resolved
