Now you have learned how to add a block around your selected text, you have learned how to add color to the background as well.

Additional options should you wish

Here is a sample apart from the first image I gave with one with a different colour which is a shade of blue plus another one with added colours plus text that is of a different color to the rest of that same block of texts you have selected.

This can give you an idea of the different colour using the same text which you can just experiment with as stated at the start.



This image used the same technique as shown in the previous steps but here you can select within that group a specific text or text and then go through the same options of either using that background and or text which will then be highlighted within and perhaps you want to emphasis a particular text within that group.


Conclusion

As you can see from the above image the original group is highlighted as described in the other steps 1 to 7.

Yet here I was able to highlight certain parts within that same group that I would want to emphasize more as well.

Part is in black and bolded which is an important statement.

The second part is in yellow with a green background where I choose to text and background to make those changes within that same block.

This shows you how much you can do using GeneratePress Block Editor and there is so much more benefits and options you can take along the way.

As mentioned right from the start if you are testing this feature out best to just created a dummy post. Add some text and just experiment until you get the hang of it.

That way if make an error no harm done to your actual post and you can always changes it.

If you don't like what you have done before saving it as a draft rememting this is a dummy post at the top left you can always click the reverse arrows as shown below.



So that's it for this training I do hope you like it and learned how to create a block around a group of selected text along with how to create a background with the colour of your choosing plus that added section of adding more within that same block.


As always please like, comment, and share this training very much appreciated.

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
