Edit a page with the block editor

The WordPress block editor (also called Gutenberg) is what opens when you edit most pages and posts. Every piece of content — a paragraph, heading, image, button — is its own “block” that you can move, style, and delete independently.

Opening the editor

Go to Pages, hover over the page you want, and click Edit. The block editor loads with your page content ready to change.

The editor layout

• Top bar — the Save button (top-right), Undo/Redo arrows, and the + button to insert new blocks.
• Content area — your page. Click any element to select and edit it.
• Right sidebar — switches between Block settings (for the selected block) and Page settings (for the whole page).

Working with blocks

Select a block — click on any paragraph, image, or heading. A toolbar appears above it with formatting options (bold, italic, alignment, links) and a move handle on the left.

Add a new block — click the + button in the top bar or press Enter at the end of a paragraph. Type / to search for a specific block type (e.g. /image or /heading).

Move a block — use the six-dot drag handle on the left of any selected block to drag it up or down.

Delete a block — select it, click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the toolbar, and choose Delete.

Page settings in the sidebar

Click the Page tab in the right sidebar to see settings for the whole page.

Setting	What it does
Status	Published, Draft, or Pending Review
Slug	The URL of the page — only change this if Jezweb tells you to
Template	The page layout — leave this as-is
Revisions	How many saved versions exist — click to browse and restore

Saving your work

Click Save (top-right) when you’re done. The button shows Saving… briefly and then returns to Save once stored. Your changes appear on the live page immediately.

Dismissed the block editor welcome tour?

Good — it doesn’t affect anything. If you want to see it again, click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner of the editor and choose Welcome Guide.

Try a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R). If the editor still won’t open, contact help@jezweb.net — it’s usually a plugin conflict we can fix quickly.
