Mix Rows and Columns Without Grouping

[prosanjit]

Hi there,

I’d like to request an enhancement for the Gutenberg block editor regarding column customization. Currently, in order to mix rows and columns within the same layout, users are required to create separate columns and row blocks and then group them. However, this approach can be restrictive and often results in unnecessary complexity when designing flexible layouts.

Requested Feature:

Introduce a built-in row + column mixed block that allows users to seamlessly place rows inside columns and vice versa.

Enable free positioning of individual blocks inside a column without rigid structure limitations.

Improve drag-and-drop flexibility for positioning content elements within both rows and columns.

Reduce the need for grouping blocks manually to maintain structured designs.

Hi @prosanjit and welcome to WordPress Trac!

Feature requests and bugs related to blocks and the block editor needs to be opened in the Gutenberg GitHub repository at ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues.

Please use the labels and the search first, to see if it has already been suggested.
