Using Blocks

The Terry website uses WordPress Blocks for placing content on pages. All content is created and managed within blocks including headings, images, ordered lists (bulleted and numbered), and button links.

In the example below, the introductory content on the Executive Education home page is built with four different blocks: a Heading block, a Paragraph block, a Button block and YouTube block.

Open

Clicking on a block displays two items used for customizing the block’s content:

• Toolbar: The toolbar contains many of the block’s primary editing options. For example, the Paragraph block toolbar contains basic formatting options (Bold and Italic), linking, and alignment.
  
  

  Open

  

  
  While the toolbar options vary from block to block, all toolbars have the option to transform the selected block into another applicable block (such as a Paragraph block into a Heading block, or vice-versa) and to move the block above below an adjacent block on the page.
  
  

   

• Block Menu: A block menu is displayed for the selected block on the righthand side of the page editor. This menu contains additional options beyond what is provided in the toolbar. For example, the field for assigning a link to a Button block is in its block menu, as shown below.
  
  

  
  To open or close the menu, click the Settings icon in the top-right corner while in the page editor.
