Understanding the Row Block

  • I have been trying to understand the use of the row block. I know it is a flex element. I am having trouble putting an image in one column and text in the next, the image is very small, and nothing I can do will change it.

    If I enable the “Allow to wrap to multiple lines,” it ways wraps not just as the screen gets smaller. I might as well just set the row to stack. It seems like a rather confusing block.

    I have tried to find some sort of tutorial on the row block, but I can’t find one.

    If you simply want to have an image and text in separate columns spanning one row, I’d use the “Media & Text” block that is pre-styled for this very use case. By default, the media will be on the left and the text on the right. But you can easily swap the two positions, and also adjust their percentage widths.

    Alternatively, you may use the Columns block with 2 columns. Again, you can change the column widths, and place your image and text into either column.

    I’ve never used the Row block before ??

    The problem with the Media & Text is I can’t get it to span the full width so that I can have a colored background to form a section. I just end up using columns. I recently saw the row block and was curious, but for anything other than text, it seems worthless, and columns work better anyway.

    I was just curious if I was not using the row block right.

    there are a bunch of video replays in wordpress.tv “how to” category that might be helpful tutorials.

    There are several workshop videos about alignment and use of patterns might be helpful:

    Learn.www.ads-software.com has a list of upcoming workshops — I’ve found them to be informative to participate live and watch replays.
