• I’ve done a lot of searching. I was wondering if there is any way plugin or otherwise. To get page guidelines Gutenberg editor. Similar to fact you would clearly see word a distinction where the page width ends. So that you can see where the page ends. As when you look it on a wider monitor when developing it’s hard to tell where page ends.

  • Hello @locka

    I checked this using the default WordPress theme but doesn’t seems to have a way to enable a visual guide to see the Content Width of the pages. Something like this mostly depends on the theme, but I can see how a feature to display the width of the content in the page editor can be useful. In this case, I suggest you to request a feature, here:

    Use your browser’s Developer Console and/or browser extensions?

    I’d consider this part of a developer’s toolbox, and something that 9% of users aren’t going to need. So it’ll be a tall order to justify as a core feature.

    George Appiah, are you sure you mean 9% of users would use it? Because that would imply 91% would which would make it even harder to argue against including it.

    More broadly, it raises the question: what percentage of users does WordPress consider enough before something becomes a core feature?

    Personally, I think it would be genuinely useful to have this built in much like you do in Word, PowerPoint, or Publisher rather than relying on external tools.

    One of the frustrations with the Gutenberg editor is that, in trying to simplify things, it often removes functionality that many users still need. The result is that you end up installing extra plugins (often fairly bloated ones like Elementor) or writing custom CSS just to achieve fairly basic things for example, changing a button’s hover state.

    Those aren’t advanced developer-only tweaks; they’re pretty standard requirements for modern websites
