I am so grateful for this video about how to use the Block Editor. Super helpful. WPBeginner videos are excellent.

[@BuddyLiptkin]

Absolutely amazing! I have watched at least 10 other videos and yours is the best. What are the chances you have a current video on how to switch to using blocks if you are currently using the Classic Editor Plugin. I am afraid to disable it until I can find a walk thru!

[@wpbeginner]

You can find our guide on that on our page below! :)

Thank you SiR.

i cant see my template header show up on my page even though i set it in the page settings?

[@StylishandGrateful]

If I write in google docs and then copy and paste I can't add blocks, short code, or video into the body of the article? Does it have to be written in wordpress? Every time I try to add a block in the middle it puts it at the bottom....

[@wpbeginner]

The simplest method to add a block inbetween content would be to cut the content below where you want to add a block, add in the block then paste the content beneath your new block if your editor is putting all of the text in one block.

Question for anyone who knows: I only have a choice to use elementor for writing. But I don't want that. Do I need to disable the entire plugin or is there a setting, so I can just WP block editor instead? Also, where is the option to get the floating box with "Short code, youtube videos, ect" I had some help on my site and now I can' t find my old wordpress post writer 😢

[@wpbeginner]

You would want to check with elementor for their current limitations with the editor but they do offer a block plugin to use with the Gutenberg editor.

How about header and footer?

[@wpbeginner]

The header and footer should be able to be edited under Appearance>Customize in your wp-admin area and not in the block editor for a post or page itself.

Pls do you guys offer online courses with certificates

[@wpbeginner]

We do not offer certifications at this time and there are no official certifications at the moment.
