@donnapep The theme's documentation (https://wordpress.com/theme/cubic) has sample screenshots from when the theme was first created showing that the titles of individual posts (and the titles on the default grid homepage) are intended to be centered.

The title in the post editor is always left aligned to my knowledge, regardless of the theme's front-end design. (I could be wrong on that.) It seems to me this bug report may have been a misunderstanding of the theme's intended design and how that interacts with the appearance in the editor.

We also have a report from a user now concerned that post titles (especially on the homepage) are not centered as they should be: 9177794-zd-a8c

Would it be worth reverting this PR?

Thanks @donnapep! I appreciate the speedy revert. 🙁

Just adding that this came up on a user report here: 9174792-zd-a8c

No further actions are necessary, as the user is happy that the title is center-aligned as before. :) ;
