Hi,
For the very first time, I wanted to publish a blog post. I have already written the text in word and thought that it is just copy and paste in the first step before editing the presentation of the text (headings, subheadings and so on).
I took one of the example blog posts of the theme. It opened in the default editor. After spending some time to get used to it, I decided to switch to the advanced layout editor. Why? Because it is annoying in the default layout builder to add the text in single paragraphs with a 2,500 words blog post. I copied and pasted my post into the already existing text block of one of your example pages. However, the issues started in the preview. Suddenly my text filled the whole page horizontally.I have checked the text boxes of your example pages with mine and the settings are the same. So, I decided to do some more tests and I found that the only way to get the standard blog post layout is by using the default layout builder. Otherwise, my posts always fill the whole page horizontally in the preview.
Maybe I am too stupid, or I miss something, but since I would like to publish a lot of posts in the future this is an important point and I feel like the advanced layout builder is much smoother. Can anybody help me, please? As said the text blocks have the same settings.
I have also added screenshots.

willbaerHey willbaer,
Thanks for your patience, the Advanced Layout Builder (ALB) doesn’t have the same page margin as the default WordPress editor, so the content is full width. This is to allow users to have more control of the layout, in the ALB you would use different elements for the layout including columns to set the width of the page. Typically for a blog post you would not do this, you mostly want to add the text and maybe a few images. While we can help is setting a default post width with padding and margins that you like, yu should know about the limitation of using the ALB for posts. You will need to hand create all excerpts manually for posts created with the ALB. WordPress and many plugins can not read the text in the shortcode of posts or pages created with the ALB, with is not a problem for Pages.I assume that the main reason you don’t like the WordPress default post editor is because it is set to use the Block Editor by default, try going to Enfold Theme Options ▸ Select Your Editor and choose the Classic Editor and see if this is any better.
If you still want to switch to the ALB for posts, please create a sample post and include an admin login in the Private Content area and tell us what you want for a post width so we can help with some css.
Best regards,
MikeHi Mike,
thanks for the quick response! This explains everything, your post ist great, you should somehwere put it to the FAQ, because I assume that other newbies like me might have similar questions.
My main issue with the block editor is that I can’t copy and paste long blog posts. You always have to put there section by section and separate it with the headings and so on.
After reading your post I did some more research. The classic editor is what I was looking for, but I read that it is recommended to use the block editor which is better concerning responsiveness and that it is not recommended to use the classic editor anymore.Thanks a lot for your help, we can close this thread!
Best regards
