The `clamp()` CSS function calculates a value between a minimum and maximum, with a preferred value that scales fluidly. It’s perfect for responsive spacing that adapts smoothly across all screen sizes. ### Do I need the Fluid Font Forge plugin? No! While Fluid Space Forge works beautifully alongside Fluid Font Forge, they are independent plugins. Each can be used separately or together for a complete fluid design system. ### Can I use this with any WordPress theme? Yes! Fluid Space Forge generates standard CSS that works with any WordPress theme, page builder, or block editor. ### What’s the difference between the three output formats? * **Classes** – Traditional CSS classes with full names (`.space-m-lg`) * **Variables** – CSS custom properties for reusable values (`--space-lg`) * **Utilities** – Tailwind-style utilities with shorthand names (`.mt-lg`, `.px- md`) ### Can I customize the spacing scale? Absolutely! You can add unlimited spacing sizes, edit their names, delete sizes, and drag-and-drop to reorder them. The plugin comes with 6 default sizes (xs, sm, md, lg, xl, xxl) that you can customize or replace. ### Does this work with rem units? Yes! You can switch between px and rem units at any time. The plugin recalculates all values when you switch units. ### Is the generated CSS compatible with older browsers? The `clamp()` function is supported in modern browsers (Chrome 79+, Firefox 75+, Safari 13.1+, Edge 79+). For older browser support, you may need to provide fallback values. ### Can I reset to defaults? Yes! Each tab has a “Reset” button that restores the original 6 default sizes. Your custom settings are also preserved and can be restored. ### Does it save automatically? Yes! The plugin includes autosave functionality that saves your changes every 10 seconds. You can also manually save at any time using the Save button. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Fluid Space Forge” is open source software.
