## Description

Enable Responsive Image adds settings to the Image block to display different images
depending on the width of the screen. You can add multiple images and set media 
queries and resolution for each image. If the screen width matches the conditions
of that media query, it will switch to the corresponding image.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `enable-responsive-image` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the \’Plugins\’ menu in WordPress.

## FAQ

### How does this plugin work?

This plugin rewrites the HTML markup for the image block rendered on the front end.
Wrap the img element with a picture element, and add source elements with srcset
and media attributes inside the picture element based on the settings of the added
image.

### It does not work correctly when multiple image sources are set.

Try rearranging the order of the images. For example, if both images have a Media
Query Type of max-width, the one with the smaller value should be ordered on top.

### Even if I switch the screen width or device on the editor, it does not switch to the set image.

On the editor side, images do not switch by default. Click the “Enable responsive
image preview” button on the block toolbar.

### What filters can I use?

You can find a list of the available filters in the [Github readme](https://github.com/t-hamano/enable-responsive-image#filters).

Working well, just what was needed. Thanks for making this! While I understand this
functionality not being the core image block, it’s essential for any kind of professional
site build so thank you very much for making it!

At last! I have waited a long time for this functionality to come to Gutenberg… 
As far as I know, this is the only plugin out there that will allow you to set different
images for different screen sizes – all inside the block editor!! No more outside-
the-editor workarounds needed to achieve this – Brilliant!!!By-the-way, this developer
has created a whole “swiss army knife” range of additional plugins for Gutenberg:
Flexible Spacer Block, Flexible Table Block and more. Well done, thank you, and 
keep up the great work, Very Best Wishes!!!!
