Description

Responsive Block Control adds responsive toggles to a “Visibility” panel of the block editor (i.e Gutenberg), to show or hide blocks according to screen width.

Limitations

Does not work with the Classic Block, Widget Block or Widget Area Block [‘core/freeform’, ‘core/legacy-widget’, ‘core/widget-area’], as the those blocks do not support block attributes. Does also not work with the HTML Block [‘core/html’] inside the Widget Screen, as this one also does not support block attributes there.

Configuration

Override existing breakpoints

function override_responsive_block_control_breakpoints($break_points) {
     $break_points['base'] = 0;
     $break_points['mobile'] = 400;
     $break_points['tablet'] = 800;
     $break_points['desktop'] = 1000;
     $break_points['wide'] = 1600;

     return $break_points;
 }

 add_filter('responsive_block_control_breakpoints', 'override_responsive_block_control_breakpoints');

Stop css output completely

 function override_responsive_block_control_add_css() {
      return false;
  }
  add_filter('responsive_block_control_breakpoints', 'override_responsive_block_control_add_css');

Installation

  1. Upload responsive-block-control.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to use different breakpoints?

Yes, use the following code in your functions.php or similar.

function override_responsive_block_control_breakpoints($break_points) {
     $break_points['base'] = 0;
     $break_points['mobile'] = 400;
     $break_points['tablet'] = 800;
     $break_points['desktop'] = 1000;
     $break_points['wide'] = 1600;

     return $break_points;
 }

 add_filter('responsive_block_control_breakpoints', 'override_responsive_block_control_breakpoints');

Can I write my own CSS and just use the classes?

Yes, that is absolutely possible. Just use the filter below to stop the plugin from injecting its’ styles:

function override_responsive_block_control_add_css() {
     return false;
 }
 add_filter('responsive_block_control_breakpoints', 'override_responsive_block_control_add_css');
