These controls give you the option to copy, duplicate, and edit your block as HTML.

Advanced HTML

If you have some basic familiarity and understanding of HTML, you can edit the HTML of your Page or Post to add or modify the existing HTML code.

The WordPress Block Editor contains blocks for some of the more popular custom HTML features such as the Quote block , Columns Block and Table Block . The steps outlined below are for sites using the Classic Editor , or those who prefer editing in HTML.

This resource is for using HTML to make small changes to the formatting of individual posts and pages. If you would like to make changes to your theme, like the font style or color of specific elements, you will need the additional features provided by the WordPress.com Premium plan or higher.

Preformatted Text

For some types of blog posts (in particular poetry), you might want more control over your line breaks and indentation than the Visual editor typically offers.

To force the editor to preserve your indents and spacing, you would use the tag.

For example, take the following poem:

AH, broken is the golden bowl! The spirit flown forever! Let the bell toll! — A saintly soul Glides down the Stygian river! And let the burial rite be read — The funeral song be sung — A dirge for the most lovely dead That ever died so young! And, Guy De Vere, Hast thou no tear? Weep now or nevermore! See, on yon drear And rigid bier, Low lies thy love Lenore!

To achieve this formatting effect, you’d use the following code:

AH, broken is the golden bowl! The spirit flown forever! Let the bell toll! — A saintly soul Glides down the Stygian river! And let the burial rite be read — The funeral song be sung — A dirge for the most lovely dead That ever died so young! And, Guy De Vere, Hast thou no tear? Weep now or nevermore! See, on yon drear And rigid bier, Low lies thy love Lenore!

In the HTML tab for the Classic Editor you can also apply the tag by using the dropdown style menu in the Visual editor, and choosing “Pre.”

Beginning HTML

A basic understanding of HTML can help you get more out of your WordPress.com site. This article explains how.

What is HTML?

HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is the main language used to create web pages. With HTML you can use special tags like to add links and to add images.

Add and Edit HTML

In the WordPress Editor

The easiest way to add HTML to a page or post is to insert a Custom HTML block. With this block, you can add HTML and edit it in your content.

Alternatively, almost all of the blocks have the option to edit them as HTML:

Click on a specific block in your editor.
Click on the ellipses (three dots) at the top of the block.
Select Edit as HTML.
To switch back to the visual editor for the block, click the ellipses again, and click Edit visually.

A third option for accessing HTML is to view the entire page or post in the Code Editor. The Code Editor will load the entire page or post’s HTML. Access it with these steps:

Edit a page or post.
In the top right of the editor, click on the ellipses (three dots) menu.
Select Code Editor.
To switch back to the Visual Editor, click the ellipses again, and click the Visual Editor option.

In a Widget

You can add a Custom HTML block to any widget area your theme supports.

In the Classic Editor

In the classic editor, click on the Text tab above the editing area (next to the Visual tab):

Some HTML Basics

In the HTML editor, everything is text — a link is text, a quote is text, even an image is text. But there are two kinds of text here. Some of the text is the actual content of the post you wrote, and some is the HTML code.

It’s easy to tell the two apart: HTML code always starts and ends with angled brackets, < and >. Anything inside a pair of angled brackets is an HTML tag. Tags are predefined HTML commands that specify how your post will look and behave. Here’s an example:

This is a Heading
 This is a paragraph.
 This is linked text

For example, to italicize a word, we use the tag, which is short for emphasis.

To open a new tag, type the tag you want to use just before the text you wish to change in some way: . When you want to end that effect, you insert a closing tag, which is the same tag but with a slash: .

Most HTML tags are supported on WordPress.com, but some tags require a plugin-enabled plan. Learn more.

Format Text With HTML

It’s possible to use HTML to make text bold, italic, underlined , or struck through. Here are examples of how to make these changes to your text:

To make text bold:

bold text here

Add a Link with HTML

URL

Here is what that anchor tag will look like on your site:

Of course, you can also use the built-in WordPress editor to easily insert links. This does the exact same thing, only it creates the anchor tag for you.

Insert an Image with HTML

Image tags are used to embed images. While using the Media Library is the recommended way of inserting images into your posts, you can also use HTML. Here is an example of embedding an image using the tag:

Here is that same tag at work:

Say you have a post that’s full of images, and you want to move one from the top of the post to the bottom of the post, but you don’t want to cut it and reinsert it.
