Gutenberg Responsive CSS using Microthemer

Learn how to style Gutenberg blocks responsively, ensuring consistent styling between the block editor and site frontend. Microthemer now has deep integration with Gutenberg, so you can style blocks at exactly the same time as creating or editing them in the block editor

Important: If you have updated a version of Microthemer prior to 7.3, you may need to manually set the “Support admin area style loading” preference to “Yes“. This option is enabled by default since version 7.3, but was disabled by default prior to that. Go to Settings > General > Preferences.
