Once you have selected a group from the previous page in step 2 on the right side of your post you will see options that should have the word block highlighted as shown below.

If you don't see this once you have a group selected you may need to click the cogwheel to open up this selection then once done click in that block once more.

Here is a screenshot of when the cogwheel is. just click that and the above should show for you.

If you had to do the above step you will then need to click that selected block group.

If you already have it showing proceed as normal to Step 3 below

Step 3:

So now you should see the words Background as shown. This section will enable you to create a background colour for that group you selected.

Show you want to choose text this will enable you to create colour for your text but with a white background.

For this example, we are creating a background colour and I will enhance it further later on with the added options to add more later.

For now, just click the background and a new small window will pop up that will lead you to Step 4.

Step 4


There are various ways here but I find the best and easiest way is to click first a light colour as shown above first.

The reason being is you click say the black color you may get a message shown that states the following.

Once that color is clicked your group text will immediately be shown that particular colour. Don't worry for now this color if you want is different as you can make further changes in The next couple of steps to not only select your chosen color but also the contract as well.

Ok when you are ready lets' go to the next page on steps 5, 6 and 7

Promise we are near the end.

Thanks for the blog as i wanted to know how to do these different things on my site. What else Id really like to know is how to make charts with checks next to the words instead of the dots or numers. I want to soon get really good with the designing like this.

Thanks heaps for putting this together for us all Andre, very appreciated, as I have wondered about things like this on more than one occasion.


My only question, what if you highlight text in a new post in wordpress and it DOESNT appear with the options box you displayed above? Is there some kinda setting i should've changed or something?


Any feedback heaps appreciated, but thanks again brother, this is super helpful stuff.

Hi, Matty thank you.

Instead of doing it the way is shown in the training with a new post you can once you create a new paragraph select the plus sign and you should see the word group.
As shown in the first image below

Once you click group it will create that box outline for you and then you can type or copy and paste your text.

Once done you can then go to the right side of the block editor and then do what background or colours you wish to use as normal.

If you can't see group when you click the plus sign in the search box above that same section type in a forward slash then group

This will be the quickest way to find group rather than looking down the left-hand side for that name.

As shown in the second image below

Once found the same deal click group a new outline will appear and then type or copy and paste your selected text and then go to the right side to do the background and colours you wish to use.

Hope that helps

Andre

Great resource. I like the two bits of lesson 1, I'd aim to keep it discreet, relevant, and straightforward, and the aim is to always write to humans. Content is KING.

Great job, Andre!

Thanks Abie appreciated.

I don't use the second part only thought about it when I started to create the training but guess it can be useful for some to highlight more important aspects within that same block.
