Select any block and tune it in the sidebar: overflow and crop, stack order, display and flex layout, transforms (move \/ scale \/ rotate \/ skew), blend modes, shadow, and stackable filter and backdrop effects \u2014 all as form controls, with no free-text CSS or script fields.<\/p>\n\n<p>It is not a block, not a builder, and not a wrapper. It augments whatever block you have selected \u2014 a Group, a Column, an Image deep inside a nested layout \u2014 so you tune exactly the element you want without remaking content or picking from a tree.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Works on every block type.<\/li>\n<li>Controls only what core does not expose: overflow, per-edge clip, z-index, display \/ flex, transform (translate \/ scale \/ rotate \/ skew), mix-blend-mode, shadow, and stackable backdrop-filter and filter effects.<\/li>\n<li>Responsive: keep settings the same on mobile, reset to default on small screens, or set different values for phones.<\/li>\n<li>Optional live editor preview toggle.<\/li>\n<li>No duplicate controls for spacing, padding, margins, colors, backgrounds, or corner radius \u2014 those already live in core.<\/li>\n<li>Styles are applied at render time, not baked into your content.<\/li>\n<li>Deactivate the plugin and every block returns to its default presentation. Nothing breaks and nothing needs rebuilding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>How it works<\/h3>\n\n<p>Tuning is stored as a hidden blockTuner attribute in the block's markup comment (never in the visible HTML). On the front end, BlockTuner applies styles at render time: an inline style attribute for same-as-desktop tuning, or a unique class plus enqueued media-query CSS (via WordPress style enqueue APIs) when small-screen reset\/custom is enabled. Remove the plugin and the injection stops \u2014 the stored attribute is inert and the block renders with its default styling.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin files to <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/blocktuner<\/code>, or install through the WordPress plugins screen.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the \"Plugins\" screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>Select any block in the editor and open the \"BlockTuner\" panel in the sidebar.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"what%20happens%20if%20i%20deactivate%20blocktuner%3F\"><h3>What happens if I deactivate BlockTuner?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Styling stops being injected, so every block renders with its default presentation.
