Inline Container
The Inline Container Block lets you place blocks side-by-side instead of the default vertical stacking. Perfect for creating multi-column layouts where you want blocks to appear next to each other.
Overview#
Block Name: Inline Container
Category: RedFox Thank You
Purpose: Arrange blocks horizontally (inline/side-by-side) instead of vertically
Available In: Free and Pro
What It Does#
The Inline Container allows you to:
- Place blocks side-by-side (horizontally)
- Create multi-column layouts
- Control alignment and spacing between inline blocks
- Build responsive designs that adapt to different screen sizes
- Arrange content in rows instead of stacking vertically
Think of it as a container that breaks the default WordPress behavior of stacking blocks vertically. Instead, blocks inside this container can sit next to each other horizontally, like columns in a table row.
When to Use#
Use Inline Container For:
- Multi-column information displays
- Side-by-side block arrangements
- Custom header/footer sections
- Responsive grid layouts
- Flexible content organization
Use Regular Blocks Instead For:
- Simple single-column content
- Standard blog-style layouts
- When WordPress Columns block is sufficient
