Description

Partly addresses #28957.

How this regression came about is a bit of a long story.

Before #26380, users could set their own alignment on button blocks inside the buttons container. #26380 removed the alignment options, but blocks still kept their visual alignments.

At a similar time #23168 made the buttons block a flex container. Individually aligned button blocks within buttons stopped working and there was no way to remove the alignments.

This change restores the visual appearance of center aligned button blocks within the buttons block.

I haven't been able to find a solution for left/right alignments (yet).

How has this been tested?

E2E tests are hard to implement, so no automated testing. Visual regression testing would be ideal for this issue.

  1. Paste the following markup in the code editor and switch back to visual:
<!-- wp:buttons -->
<div class="wp-block-buttons"><!-- wp:button {"align":"center"} -->
<div class="wp-block-button aligncenter"><a class="wp-block-button__link">center aligned button (inside buttons)</a></div>
<!-- /wp:button -->

<!-- wp:button {"align":"center"} -->
<div class="wp-block-button aligncenter"><a class="wp-block-button__link">center aligned button (inside buttons)</a></div>
<!-- /wp:button --></div>
<!-- /wp:buttons -->

<!-- wp:button {"align":"center"} -->
<div class="wp-block-button aligncenter"><a class="wp-block-button__link">center aligned button (outside buttons)</a></div>
<!-- /wp:button -->

<!-- wp:button {"align":"center"} -->
<div class="wp-block-button aligncenter"><a class="wp-block-button__link">center aligned button (outside buttons)</a></div>
<!-- /wp:button -->

<!-- wp:buttons {"contentJustification":"center","orientation":"vertical"} -->
<div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-vertical"><!-- wp:button -->
<div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link">Vertical centered buttons</a></div>
<!-- /wp:button -->

<!-- wp:button {"className":"is-style-fill"} -->
<div class="wp-block-button is-style-fill"><a class="wp-block-button__link">Vertical centered buttons</a></div>
<!-- /wp:button --></div>
<!-- /wp:buttons -->
  1. It should look like the first screenshot (theme styles disabled)
  2. Preview the post
  3. It should look like the second screenshot, but may be theme dependent.
  4. Try the justification options in the buttons block, it should override the legacy alignment.

Thanks for working on this.

The usual justifications work fine as well. It also appears that you've threaded the needle of not adding additional specificity to the rules for newly created blocks, well done.

I haven't been able to find a solution for left/right alignments (yet).

It appears the primary problem with left and right alignments is that the container, Buttons, is now display: flex; rather than block. When I inspect and set the container to block, it works fine:

But for a non-migrated block, of course we can't really change that with CSS, because we don't know how to ambiguate between non migrated or not.

But there's maybe a hack, probably best to explore separately:

Screenshot 2021-02-24 at 09 38 04

To convert that inspecting to CSS, this should work:

.wp-block-buttons > .wp-block[data-align="left"],
.wp-block-buttons > .wp-block[data-align="right"] {
    height: auto;
    width: auto;
}

Since the data-align/left properties would not be present on new blocks, the CSS should be properly scoped to legacy blocks. The frontend should work fine.

Thanks for the review and suggestions, @jasmussen.

I think I'll try to tackle the left/right alignments separately.
