Shed Editor Assist enhances the Gutenberg block editor experience with visual aids that make layout structure clearer.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Layout Borders — dashed outlines on Columns, Column, Group, and Spacer blocks so you can see structure at a glance</li>
<li>Block Color Coding — each block type gets a distinct border color (paragraph, heading, image, list, buttons)</li>
<li>Grab Markers — a ⠿ handle at the top-left corner of each block for quick drag-and-drop reordering</li>
<li>Backspace / Delete Protection — prevents accidental block deletion or column-merge when the cursor is at the start or end of a block (both keys protected)</li>
</ul>
All features are editor-only. Nothing is added to the frontend.
Each feature can be toggled independently under Settings > Shed Editor Assist. Border style (dashed / solid), width, and base color are also configurable.
Optional paid add-ons are available at https://wpshed.jp.

Want to create a column-based layout with easily customizable column-width and positions? Or perhaps you want to align your content to a global layout grid across your post. With this Layout Grid block you can do both or either. There are also options to provide specific layouts to mobile or tablet breakpoints. Pick a number of columns (1-4), then go ahead and resize and position each column as you want them to look, for any screen. Optionally apply background colours and paddings to add emphasis.

Layout Grid Block

Started using this block layout on a WordPress.com site as it was just there by default, then when I realised it wasn't available on my WordPress sites, I had to go get it. Very handy layout...

Very handy layout

Already working really well. It's clean and solid and intuitive. I'm working with it with the Kadence theme and it's excellent. Hope to see this in Gutenberg core soon!

Works really well


The is a more flexible replacement for the standard columns block. If you've ever battled with the standard columns to make multi-column components that adapted at mobile, tablet and desktop then I would definitely recommend this block.

Great block that allows placing and resizing blocks in a more flexible way than the regular columns block. I hope it is continually supported.


Great block!

A Gutenberg container block to let you align items consistently across a global grid.
