The Container Block has disappeared

    I wanted to add a contact form on my home page. But I need a container block to format the form correctly for desktop and mobile. I just created a container a few days ago for my ‘get in touch’ page and it was fine. But when I went to look for the block again, it had completely disappeared. I typed ‘container’ in the search box and nothing. I only get the option of group, row or stack. I also did some troubleshooting and went into a different theme, but still no container block. I have updated my PHP and deleted my caches. I don’t know where it has gone and what to do to find it. Can anybody help me?

    Thanks Georgie

    WordPress has no default block called “Container”. And none of the default blocks has mobile-specific settings (other than stacking things vertically on mobile).

    If you had such a “Container” block, then it came from a plugin.

    I see you’re using the “Gutenify” plugin, which seems to have such a block… though the deeper I dug, the more confused I became 😀

    The plugin’s description page at WordPress.org mentions a “Container” block: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenify/

    But the official website does NOT mention “Container” among the available blocks: https://gutenify.com/blocks/

    Meanwhile, there’s a documentation page for this “Container” block: https://gutenify.com/documentations/container/

    Confused, I installed the plugin to test it for myself.

    — When I hit the blue + sign to add a block, like you, I don’t see any “Container” block among the list of the plugin’s blocks. A search for “Container” also doesn’t return this block

    — Yet when I insert one of the plugin’s “Blocks Templates” (which should better be called Patterns!), I see a “Container” block being used to create the template.

    The plugin’s pricing page mentions “Basic Blocks” in the free version while the PRO version has “Advance Blocks”. But I couldn’t find any info on which blocks are basic (free) vs Advanced (paid).

    So… I recommend you seek an explanation from the plugin’s author 😀

    Good luck!

    Thank you for your epic research. I have contacted Gutenify to see what has happened.
