Block: Image
Welcome to image alignment! If you recognize this post, it is because these are blocks that have been converted from the classic Markup: Image Alignment post. The best way to demonstrate the ebb and flow of the various image positioning options is to nestle them snuggly among an ocean of words. Grab a paddle and let’s get started. Be sure to try it in RTL mode. Left should stay left and right should stay right for both reading directions. On the topic of alignment, it should be noted that users can choose from the options of None, Left, Right, and Center. If the theme has added support for align wide, images can also be wide and full width. Be sure to test this page in RTL mode. In addition, they also get the options of the image dimensions 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% or a set width and height. The image above…
Block: Button
Button blocks are not semantically buttons, but links inside a styled div. If you do not add a link, a link tag without an anchor will be used. Check to make sure that the text wraps correctly when the button has more than one line of text, and when it is extra long. Buttons have three styles: If the theme has a custom color palette, test that background color and text color settings work correctly. Now lets test how buttons display together with large texts.

Block: Gallery
Gallery blocks have two settings: the number of columns, and whether or not images should be cropped. The default number of columns is three, and the maximum number of columns is eight. Below is a three column gallery at full width, with cropped images. Some more text for taking up space. A two column gallery, aligned to the left, linked to media file. In the editor, the image captions can be edited directly by clicking on the text. If the number of images cannot be divided into the number of columns you have selected, the default is to have the last image(s) automatically stretch to the width of your gallery. A four column gallery with a wide width: A five column gallery with normal images: This is the same gallery, but with cropped images. Six columns: does it work at all window sizes? Seven columns: how does this look on…
Block: Columns
This page tests how the theme displays the columns block. The first block tests a two column block with paragraphs. This is the second column. It should align next to the first column. Reduce the browser window width to test the responsiveness. This is the second column block. It has 3 columns. Paragraph 2 is in the middle. Paragraph 3 is in the last column. The third column block has 4 columns. Make sure that all the text is visible and that it is not cut off. Now the columns are getting narrower. The margins between the columns should be wide enough, so that the content of the columns does not run into or overlap each other. Column one. Column two. Column three. Column four. Column five. To change the number of columns, select the column block to open the settings panel. You can show up to 6 columns. If…
