Responsive Breakpoint Settings

ZenBlocks manages the reference widths used for per-block responsive display under Site Settings > Responsive. This is not a standard WordPress settings screen — it is a site-wide configuration panel located in the ZenBlocks side panel within the block editor.

Summary

By default, the system uses four tiers: PC / MD / TB / SP. PC is always enabled, while MD, TB, and SP can be toggled on or off as needed, with their maximum widths saved accordingly. After saving, a page reload is required.

Default Values

LabelDefault
PCAlways enabled
MD1140px
TB840px
SP540px

  1. Open any post or page in the block editor

Verification Checklist

  • Is PC always enabled and locked?
  • Is the minimum value for MD kept higher than TB?
  • Is the maximum value for TB lower than MD and higher than SP?
  • Have you completed a page reload after saving?

Important Notes

  • Any unsaved edits before the reload will be lost, so save your block content first
  • Values that break the width hierarchy may be accepted during input but corrected to defaults on save
  • Breakpoints are a site-wide setting — they cannot be customized per page

When to Revisit These Settings

Layout breaks at tablet width only

  • Check whether the TB maximum width matches your actual design target
  • If needed, review the enabled state of MD / TB / SP and adjust accordingly

Changes in the editor are not reflected

  • This is usually because the page was not reloaded after saving
  • If there are other unsaved edits, save those first, then reload
