In this video you’re going to learn how to add headings to your posts and pages using Gutenberg.

This is a preview of the new WordPress editor which is expected to be released shortly. As the update hasn’t happened yet, I’m using the Gutenberg plugin to simulate the new editor experience. The real thing may be slightly different when it comes out.

As they are still fixing bugs prior to the release of WordPress version 5 it's not a good idea to install the Gutenberg plugin on a live site.

Create or use a practice website to play with the plugin.

Open the post you want to edit (or the post you’re working on).

Click into a paragraph near where you want the heading to appear.

Click the + button top left to add a new block.

Select Heading block from the Frequent tab or the Blocks tab.

Type in your heading and look at the Toolbar where you can choose the size of the heading as well as additional formatting options.

You can rearrange the order of the blocks using the tiny Move Up and Move Down arrows on the left hand side.

Click on Save Draft (optional) while you’re working on your post.

When you’ve finished the post Preview and Schedule for publication.

Now you know how to add headings to your posts and pages using the new Gutenberg WordPress editor.

There’s a lot more to learn about the new WordPress editor so watch out for more of my videos.
