How are you handling layout locking and client handoffs in a 100% native block environment?

5 June 2026 at 08:10

Hey everyone,

I’ve fully transitioned away from heavy page builders and now build exclusively with native blocks to keep performance tight and avoid bloat. The speed improvements have been great, but I’m running into a workflow shift when handing sites over to clients.

With older page builders, it was relatively easy to lock down specific elements so clients couldn't break the layout. Now, with the block editor, giving them the freedom to edit content sometimes means they accidentally delete a container or mess up a flex layout.

For those of you doing custom block-based builds for clients:

Are you heavily using templateLock on specific patterns and blocks?

Do you rely on a specific role manager setup to restrict block access, or keep it strictly native?

How do you strike the balance between letting clients edit text/images easily without letting them destroy the carefully crafted structure?

Would love to hear how you structure your handoffs to keep the site safe from "accidental" client edits.

Extra padding on mobile inside Group blocks (Twenty Twenty-Four)

22 May 2026 at 07:14

Hey everyone, Tbh I'm pretty new to WP.

I'm using the Twenty Twenty-Four theme. Everything looks great on desktop, but on mobile, my "Group" blocks show weird extra space/padding on the sides.

Lk, I checked the settings but can't figure it out. Is there a simple toggle to remove this without custom CSS?
