Find out in this tutorial how to center the image block in WordPress by default using code.
WordPress native blocks come with default settings. That is, when you enter the block, they already have some settings selected. And, although you can change them from the block editor, it is possible that for some of them you always have to modify some setting.
For example, the image block is aligned to the left by default, but you can tell it to display centered and thus avoid having to change that setting every time you add a new image block.
In this tutorial we will see how you can do this.
