After activating the plugin, open any post or page in the Gutenberg editor. Select any block and look for the “Block Responsive” panel in the block inspector (right sidebar). You’ll see various responsive controls organized by category.
The plugin works with all core Gutenberg blocks (blocks that start with “core/”) and WooCommerce blocks (blocks that start with “woocommerce/”). This includes paragraphs, headings, images, buttons, columns, product grids, cart blocks, checkout blocks, and many more.
No, the plugin only adds controls to blocks. It doesn’t modify existing content unless you specifically use the responsive controls on blocks.
The plugin is optimized for performance. It only loads the necessary scripts and styles in the editor and generates minimal CSS for the frontend.
Currently, all core blocks will have the responsive controls available. Future versions may include options to disable controls for specific blocks.
Your content will remain intact, but any responsive styling applied through the plugin will no longer be visible. The blocks will display with their default styling.
Reviews
Very GOOD
By Eric (ericfri) on February 12, 2026
This is exactly what I was looking for. I often don't want or need all of the additional blocks that other plugins offer, the provided Gutenberg blocks are usually enough. But, they are lacking some niceties for responsive design. This plugin brings those niceties and makes adjusting things SO MUCH BETTER.
THANK YOU.
9.8/10 works very well.

As i am trying to get the most out of the basic blocks, this plugin is very useful.
A indicator icon on the setting modals where there are changed values and also on the device icons within would be big usability improvement.
also small bug, i cannot overwrite the single column block width. would be quite usefull to controll it via the fixed width dimension.
thanks Sheikh!

Block Responsive addresses what's missing in Gutenberg blocks
By skylabb on January 2, 2026
I want to stay native using Gutenberg blocks as much as possible to build my layouts. But G blocks lack responsive settings badly. Block Responsive takes care of the problem! Just exactly what I need. Big thank you to the author.
Should be in core
By cheahcs on November 27, 2025
What can I say, is a good plugin. Please keep going to enhance this plugin. Power and power, let's the WP core team know that what is user need.
Fantastic addition to core blocks!

Absolutely fantastic and non-opinionated! I've been looking for a plugin to extend this functionality to core blocks without having to add all new blocks.
This should be in the core.
