# Enabling Wordpress block styles **URL:** https://discourse.roots.io/t/enabling-wordpress-block-styles/27159 **Category:** radicle **Created:** 2024-05-15T03:45:00Z **Posts:** 2 ## Post 1 by @bonlando — 2024-05-15T03:45:00Z It seems that custom block styles such as background color, font size or align etc aren’t working.

I use `roots/acorn-prettify` and set `'disable-gutenberg-block-css' => true,` This disables loading of the CSS in the `` Then I add the necessary CSS directly to app.css from /wp-includes/: ``` @import "../../../../../wp-includes/css/dist/block-library/common.css"; @import "../../../../../wp-includes/blocks/cover/style.css"; @import "../../../../../wp-includes/blocks/group/style.css"; ```
