atomicblocks

Thanks for the stars, Chase! We’ve got even more blocks and improvements coming by the day, stay tuned!

Thanks for the update!

Hi there,

Are you using the latest version of the Atomic Blocks plugin? Have you been able to reproduce this issue or did you see it in a certain circumstance? I’m not able to reproduce on my end.

Hi there,

We’ll take a look at the duplicate styles, that should definitely not be happening.

As far as the styles, it’s not necessarily as easy as “leave it to the theme!” If left to the theme entirely, you can get very unexpected results. We’re aiming for somewhere between providing a basic design framework and also allowing for customization. I’ve tested the plugin with many themes and can confirm that the blocks work quite well with most.

Also, keep in mind Atomic Blocks is still in early development, as Gutenberg itself hasn’t even been released yet. What you see in the plugin isn’t set in stone and will likely change with the course of Gutenberg. There are some new methods for styling blocks that will alleviate some of these issues.

I disagree that the plugin is inherently less compatible because of this. Because theme styles are largely written poorly for themes themselves, it makes styling for them a moving target. The styles might be a little specific for the time being, but this is something we’re currently working on.

At any rate, we’re very open to your feedback and will be considering this while we work on some more improvements going forward. Thanks for taking the time to send along your thoughts!

Hi there,

It looks like Edge currently does not have support but it should be coming soon! Stay tuned! In the mean time, there may be some style or JS fixes you can add to make it work in Edge if you need.

Hi there,

Thanks for your feedback. We’re definitely working on some improvements to the styling. The reason for the specificity here is trying to ensure a cohesive look across the blocks. Theme styles are notoriously all over the place and can make styling the blocks themselves a pain. Although you want your blocks to take on some of the theme’s styling, you don’t want it relying heavily on the theme because often theme styles themselves aren’t done very well. It’s a bit of a back and forth between plugin and theme styles.

There are some improvements coming to Gutenberg that will let us write styles a little differently and hopefully that helps clear this up.

Hi there,

Thanks for the report. This has been fixed in version 1.4.0. Give it a spin and let us know if you see anything else!

I know sometimes it can be hard to click specific blocks. Gutenberg recently added a new feature to help with this. Click this little icon in the toolbar to show the tree of blocks, which you can use to click the container block easily. Hope that helps!
