## Опис

**Core Essentials – Responsive Picture Block** turns several standard **Image** 
blocks into one semantic, front-end `<picture>` HTML element. It’s built for **art
direction**: choose **different crops, compositions, or formats** for different 
breakpoints (e.g., a tight mobile crop, a wider desktop crop, or an AVIF/WebP source).

Why this matters:

 * **`<picture>` vs `<img srcset>`**
    srcset is great for picking the right **resolution**
   of the _same_ image. But when you need different **content** (crop/ratio/composition)
   at different viewport widths, you need **art direction** — that’s exactly what`
   <picture>` does by letting you swap **entire sources** via `<source media="…"
   >`.
 * **Editor-first UX**
    Authors see a single “Responsive Picture (Block)” wrapper,
   then insert one Image per breakpoint. The plugin mirrors the link /caption from
   the Desktop image. Per-image design controls (aspect ratio, object-fit, width/
   height) are respected. The block’s **preview** shows the native **Desktop / Tablet/
   Mobile** toolbar:
    - Desktop preview ⇒ show **all** child images
    - Tablet preview ⇒ show **Tablet**, else **Desktop**, else **Mobile**
    - Mobile preview ⇒ show **Mobile**, else **Tablet**, else **Desktop**
 * **Perfect source ordering**
    Custom media queries are **auto-sorted** so the 
   correct `<source>` wins (most specific first). Works with `max-width`, `min-width`,
   and range queries.

### Key Features

 * Wraps multiple core **Image** blocks into a single semantic `<picture>`
 * Pick **Desktop / Tablet / Mobile / Custom** images (true art direction)
 * **Override `media`** per Tablet/Mobile/Custom (e.g., `(max-width: 1200px)`)
 * Optional **`sizes` override** per source (advanced bandwidth tuning)
 * Allows **width, height, aspect-ratio, object-fit** per breakpoint
 * Uses **link + caption** from the Desktop (fallback) image
 * Editor **preview** follows WordPress’ device switcher (Desktop/Tablet/Mobile)
 * Prevents layout overflow; picture wrapper is fully responsive
 * Works with standard WP image sizes and responsive `srcset`
 * Lightweight, no front-end JS — pure HTML/CSS on the front end

### Why `<picture>` (Art Direction 101)

When your layout needs **different imagery** across breakpoints (e.g., a vertical
crop on phones and a wide landscape on desktops), you’re doing **art direction**.
The `<picture>` element enables this by letting the browser **choose an entire source**
based on `media` conditions (and even file `type`, like AVIF/WebP), not just a different
width of the same file. The result is **better design control** and **faster pages**
because each device downloads **only the most appropriate asset** for its layout
saving you bandwidth as well as having compositions control.

### Use Cases

 * Hero banners with **different crops** for mobile vs desktop
 * Product images where the **subject framing** changes on small screens
 * Editorial layouts that require **portrait vs landscape** compositions
 * File **format switching** (e.g., AVIF/WebP with PNG/JPEG fallback)

### Usage

 1. **Insert** the **Responsive Picture (Block)** block.
 2. **Add Image blocks** inside it for: Desktop (fallback), Tablet, Mobile, and/or 
    Custom.
 3. **Select each Image** and open the **Responsive: Breakpoint** panel:
 4.  * **Viewport**: Desktop / Tablet / Mobile / Custom
     * **Override media query** (Tablet/Mobile): optional (e.g., `(max-width: 1200px)`)
     * **Custom media query**: required when using the “Custom” viewport
 5. (Optional) Open **Advanced: Sizes override** to set a custom `sizes=""` for that
    source.
 6. Use the editor’s **Desktop / Tablet / Mobile** preview to check the effective image
    per breakpoint.
 7. Publish. The front end renders a single `<picture>` with perfectly ordered `<source
    >` tags and a fallback `<img>`.

### Block Details

 * Block name: `ce/responsive-picture`
 * Children: one or more `core/image` blocks
 * Front-end HTML output:
 *     ```
       <picture>
         <source media="(max-width: 767px)" srcset="…" sizes="…">
         <source media="(max-width: 1024px)" srcset="…" sizes="…">
         <!-- custom sources (auto-sorted) -->
         <img src="…" srcset="…" sizes="…" alt="">
       </picture>
       ```

## Постављање

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via the Plugins screen.
 2. Activate **Core Essentials – Responsive Picture Block**.
 3. In the block editor, add **Responsive Picture (Block)** and insert one **Image**
    per breakpoint.

## ЧПП

### Does this replace `srcset` / responsive images?

No. Each `<source>` (and the fallback `<img>`) still uses WordPress’ native responsive`
srcset`. The plugin adds **art direction** by swapping **sources** per breakpoint;`
srcset` then chooses the best **resolution** within that source.

### Can I add multiple custom breakpoints?

Yes. Add more **Custom** Images with your media queries. The plugin **sorts** them(
and Tablet/Mobile) into the correct order so the right source wins.

### Do I need to touch `sizes`?

No. It’s optional and only affects **resolution selection** inside a matched source.
If you use it, follow the pattern:
 (media) length, …, fallback-length (e.g., `(
max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px`).

### Accessibility? Alt text?

Alt text is taken from the **Desktop Image**, the image; the `<picture>` `<img>`
carries it.

### What about aspect ratio and scale?

All aspect ratio and scale settings are taken from the individual image, so if your
mobile image is 9:16 and desktop image is set to 4:3 both will be respected at their
screen sizes.

### Performance and formats?

You can upload **AVIF/WebP** assets and still provide a PNG/JPEG fallback in the
Desktop image if needed. The browser will pick the **first matching** `<source>`(
by `media` and optionally `type`) and an optimal width via `srcset`.

### Does it work with Synced Patterns and Overrides?

As of version 1.1.0, the Responsive Picture Block fully supports WordPress Synced
Patterns with Overrides. You can:
 1. Create a synced pattern containing a Responsive
Picture Block 2. Enable overrides on the Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile images 3. Use
the pattern across multiple pages 4. Replace images on each page using the standard„
Replace“ feature Each page will display different images while maintaining the same
responsive structure and design. The Block Bindings API handles all image attributes(
id, url, alt, caption) automatically.

### 󠀁[Excellent Plugin – must have on every project](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-plugin-must-have-on-every-project/)󠁿

 [SPiNNdevs](https://profiles.wordpress.org/spinndevs/) 17. фебруар 2026.

Has one dedicated focus, does this very well and does not introduce any other overhead
or clutter. T This plugin also works with synced pattern overrides which is a game
changer for us. Also the support ist top notch. Very fast feedback and a fix ready
and live on the next day 🤯
