We have a few options on how to create this ‘padded block with background image’ using WP’s Cover Block. See below for variants and use this guide as a reference on options.

• The background image should be 1440px wide at a minimum.
• Using the editor options you can choose:
  • Screened overlay or none/dark or light text
  • Background position of the image
  • Normal (wide) or full width (for wide template pages, will go to edge of viewport)
  • left, center, or right aligned text

This first example has the default settings in place.

To adjust alignment or color of text, you’ll need to add certain classes to Additional CSS Class in the block settings. Options:

• text-left or text-right – does what you think 😉
• text-dark – changes text to dark (good for light images without screened background)
