## Descripción

Responsive Block Controls adds practical responsive controls to supported native
Gutenberg blocks. Adjust layouts, spacing, column widths, Query Loop grids, Gallery
columns, and Spacer heights without replacing core blocks or moving content into
a page builder.

Native WordPress blocks are fast, portable, and theme-friendly, but responsive layout
tweaks often still require custom CSS, duplicated blocks, or a full page builder.
This plugin keeps your content in native blocks and adds the missing breakpoint 
controls directly in the block inspector.

### Why use it?

 * Add responsive controls to supported native Gutenberg blocks.
 * Keep existing core blocks, patterns, synced patterns, reusable blocks, and template
   parts.
 * Avoid extra builder markup, shortcodes, and content lock-in.
 * Adjust columns, gaps, custom widths, order, Query Loop grids, Gallery layouts,
   and Spacer heights from the editor sidebar.
 * Preserve desktop behavior and theme spacing defaults unless you override them.
 * Remove the plugin without breaking the saved content structure.

### Supported blocks

Support is added block by block. In this version, responsive controls are available
for:

 * `core/columns` — responsive column counts, gap controls, and custom-width mode.
 * `core/column` — per-breakpoint width and order controls when custom-width mode
   is enabled on the parent Columns block.
 * `core/post-template` inside Query Loop — manual column controls, auto-fit minimum
   width, responsive gaps, and optional Masonry for supported fixed-column grids.
 * `core/gallery` — responsive columns and gap controls while keeping the native
   Gallery block.
 * `core/spacer` — tablet and mobile height overrides while keeping the native desktop
   Spacer height.

### How it works

The plugin stores settings as native block attributes and renders a small set of
CSS classes and custom properties. It does not register replacement layout blocks
and does not wrap your content in custom frontend markup.

Your theme stays in control of the base layout. Responsive Block Controls only applies
supported responsive values at the configured breakpoints. If the plugin is removed,
WordPress ignores the extra attributes and the blocks fall back to their normal 
core behavior.

### Editor experience

 * Responsive controls appear only when the selected block is supported.
 * Breakpoint tabs follow desktop, tablet, and mobile editing workflows.
 * Smaller breakpoints inherit from larger breakpoints until you override them.
 * Gap controls support `px`, `rem`, and `em` values with predictable reset behavior.
 * Custom-width Columns layouts support per-column width and simple order controls.
 * Query Loop grids support manual columns, auto-fit minimum width, and Masonry 
   guidance where available.
 * Spacer height can be customized for tablet and mobile previews.
 * Theme spacing defaults are detected when possible.

### Accessibility and localization

 * Inspector controls are keyboard accessible and labeled for screen readers.
 * Strings are translation-ready via the `responsive-columns` text domain.

## Instalación

 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Select a supported native block and open the responsive panel in the block sidebar.

## FAQ

### Is this a page builder or a block collection?

No. The plugin extends supported native Gutenberg blocks. It does not replace core
blocks with custom layout blocks.

### Which blocks are supported?

Responsive controls are currently available for Columns, individual Column blocks
in custom-width mode, Query Loop grids, Gallery, and Spacer. New block support can
be added over time without changing the core positioning of the plugin.

### Will my content break if I uninstall the plugin?

No. Settings are stored as extra block attributes. If the plugin is removed, WordPress
ignores those attributes and the blocks fall back to their normal core behavior.

### Does it work with patterns and reusable blocks?

Yes. Because settings are stored on native blocks, they travel with patterns, synced
patterns, reusable blocks, and template parts.

### Can I use it with any theme?

The plugin is designed to work with themes that use normal WordPress block markup
and spacing styles. It keeps the active theme responsible for the base layout and
only applies responsive overrides where supported.

### Does Masonry work everywhere?

No. Masonry is an optional Query Loop enhancement for supported fixed-column grid
layouts. It is not the main purpose of the plugin and is only enabled when the current
Query Loop layout can support it safely.

### Can I use rem or em values for gaps?

Yes. Gap controls support `px`, `rem`, and `em` values, while older saved `px` values
remain compatible.

### Can Spacer have different heights on tablet and mobile?

Yes. Keep the native desktop height in the Spacer block settings, then use the responsive
height panel for tablet and mobile overrides.
