Hey folks, welcome to another HeroPress Tip of the Week. This week’s going to be quick and easy. I recently found two different ways to solve a problem that was driving me crazy in Gutenberg. For a long time, I wanted to be able to put something between this divider and this block. This is the HeroPress newsletter. So I do this every single week. I just want to put something in there but I can’t hover and get the little plus sign. Now, I can do it here but that doesn’t put it down here where I want.
So there are two ways you can do this. One is to go to this document overview button and click on the block you want, and then click these three dots and “insert after”. There you go. But I also found you can access that same menu right from the block itself. Let’s close this up so there’s no confusion. If I click on my divider, and there are three dots… Ooh, it moved. Three dots, insert after. There you go. So on any block, you can insert before or insert after. That ended up saving me a ton of time. I hope you find it useful.
