I did notice overlaps when I was playing with other settings. The reason I chose 8 is because I want to limit it to a single row. I’m less concerned about the actual number than limiting the vertical space to the single row.

I’ve set the number of columns to auto and now it displays a row of 7 plus an additional row of 1. That extra could be sorted by asking for only 7 photos, but the whole block is still offset compared to all the other content.

I should add I updated to 3.30.

Thanks, I have confirmed it is now configurable. It has thrown up another issue but I will start a new thread for that.

Actually, I am a dummy. It’s a staging site so I can put the block anywhere. So, I put it right at the top, before the first template part. Same problem.

It seems, at least for me, it will not work in the Site Editor, only the Post/Page Editor.

I am only using the free features of Otter. This is the plugin page link, to be sure it’s the same one: https://en-nz.ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/otter-blocks/

I did try adding a shortcode block but there is no ability to set the width attribute and it ends up rendering hard against the left margin of the page, further left than any of the other content. At least with the unconfigurable Photonic block, I can set the wide width I want and it respects it in the editor.

Here is my config.
