You are using the CoBlocks plugin to display the four images side by side. Their styles are effective here.
I would recommend the following:
Alternatively, you can also do without the CoBlocks blocks for this view and recreate it with the blocks that have been included in WordPress for several versions. I think it would have to be a group block in which you insert 2 subgroups, each containing 1 image + the caption.
Tip: You can insert code in the forum using the code block: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/forum-user-guide/block-editor/#code-block – Alternatively, you can save it at https://gist.github.com, for example, and link to it here. But I don’t think that’s necessary in your case. 🙂
One more thing to try: Sometimes CSS caching issues can cause block layout problems. Try these quick fixes:
- Deactivate all non-essential plugins except CoBlocks temporarily to see if a plugin conflict is causing it
- Switch to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-Four) to test if it’s a theme CSS issue
- Clear your browser cache and hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R)
If those don’t work, it’s likely a CoBlocks issue as threadi mentioned. Update the plugin or contact their support. Let us know what you find!
The issue seems to come from the fact styles aren’t enqueued as expected on 6.9. In your case, one of the CSS file that were responsible of the right alignment is now missing.
You must wait for a fix (on the WordPress core side) before upgrading to this version.
I didn’t find a report talking about that on the Trac, but considering the impact the issue has (any plugin and any theme basically) they are probably already aware about it.
I would love to be able to reproduce this issue to understand if there’s any Core issue going on here. Would you be able to send the HTML of your blocks and the CoBlocks version you’re using.
Thank you
This theme has been created from scratch. It does not use Elementor. It uses the ACF plugin. In normal WordPress 6.8, it loaded block styles by default. When updating to version 6.9, it does not load block styles.
So a classic theme right?
It’s likely related to loading block styles on demand in classic themes. A workaround is to add this PHP code to you site:
add_filter( 'should_load_separate_core_block_assets', '__return_false' );
What would be extremely helpful is if anyone could provide step-by-step instructions to set up an WordPress environment with the theme, plugins, and content required to reproduce the issue.
I had a similar issue: the update (6.9) broke the image gallery layout on my site, aksgar.me, so I had to downgrade WordPress to 6.8 and then disable the auto-upgrade feature using “define( ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, false );”.
I’ll keep the auto update disabled until the issues are fixed.
As a workaround for any site experiencing this issue, I’ve just published a small single-file plugin that allows you to remain on 6.9 but opt out of loading separate core block styles. Naturally, the plugin is called Load Combined Core Block Assets. This plugin includes the ability for you to test loading separate core block styles via a query parameter. Once 6.9.1 is released with the fix, the plugin could inform you to re-test, so that the plugin can be deactivated and uninstalled at that time.
If you added the following to your site via a theme or plugin:
add_filter( 'should_load_separate_core_block_assets', '__return_false' );
Please remove this, and instead install the plugin. This will help ensure you don’t get stuck with loading the combined core block assets indefinitely. The use of combined core block assets means much more CSS is added to the page than is likely needed, and this can negatively impact page load time (e.g. FCP and LCP). By WordPress 6.9 loading separate block assets on demand, this also allows for small stylesheets to be inlined to further reduce render-blocking resources.
Days ago, there was another similar topic and I responded that we were having the same issue – when I received a pretty perturbed message from someone/moderator to keep topics singular??
I THOUGHT I was just saying “Hey we have a similar problem” rather than starting a redundant topic – LIKE PEOPLE HERE ARE DOING?? I mean it DOES SAY check to see if the topic is already posted smh
Anyway, I swear I’ve had to deal with this very same issue before and wish I could remember what it was BECAUSE I remember having to do the entire main page OVER AGAIN – and did not think I used Coblocks. Was fairly certain I used WP Blocks with the 2 columns – then 2 columns inside those – to have a total of 4 images in a row (seems awkward to me but thats what it is….) If that isn’t the case, I don’t remember why (I just wear too many hats onG)
In any event I guess it sounds like a CORE ISSUE at this point to see others are having the same issues and though I prefer to keep updates, UP-TO-DATE, they’re not always so safe – all these new things get tested on us – which is why I only update on our staging site now – because I can’t have this happening on a web-based business site every time WordPress is trying out something new.
@threadi
I have removed the Coblocks plugin entirely (on our staging site) and recreated 2 of the pages using blocks — ONE page (CONTACT) is a mess of alignments – when each row is a literal duplicate of the previous and NO setting on any row is different OR responding on mobile properly.

I was able to remedy the situation by doing the following:
Removed Coblocks
Recreated Main page with normal WP Blocks
On post I made regarding ALIGNMENT WITH ROWS with 3 columns not aligning (and it seems it was removed) …
I was able to accomplish proper alignment by using GRID as opposed to rows – AND it wraps – AND it’s Mobile. (all of which were not working correctly with ROWS)
