Force block to start on a new line

    I’ve been publishing with WordPress for many years but I’m new to the block editor. I’ve been able to work out most things but stuck with one which I can’t figure out! I’m using the twenty twenty three theme.

    My problem is that when I make my browser window wide the title of my pages moves up, character by character to the line above (the navigation menu). Please try this on the page I have given to see what I mean. In layman’s language, I need the equivalent of a hard carriage return between the end of the navigation menu block and the title block on my pages.

    I hope this makes sense and thanks.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • It looks like you’ve modified one or more templates to add left alignment to the Header template part. This basically tells WordPress to “align things to the left of the page.” When you do this, content below it will start wrapping around it to the right, which is what you’re seeing.

    What you need to do is change the alignment back to “None” (this is the default) as shown in this screenshot: https://imgur.com/YeF5iH2

    It looks like you’ve made this change to several templates, so you will likely need revert the alignment back to None on all of them.

    Thanks for your response. Much appreciated. I can’t seem to be able to get to the screenshot you shared ie the one with the alignment option at the top. Would you mind guiding me there eg: Dashboard > Appearance > Editor > Etc > Etc

    Go to Appearance > Editor in your WordPress install. Then, click on any of the templates in under the Templates menu. From there, select the Header template part.

    Thank you Justin. It’s fixed. Your diagnosis was spot on and I wouldn’t have worked this out for myself.

    The options were in a different place for me. For the record (and so I don’t forget!), this was the path for me:

    • Login to wp-admin
    • Go to website homepage > Edit Site > Click on Header block > Click on Menu block
    • In block options box select Align > None

    Thanks again
