Go back to the list of Blocks

With the WordPress Embed block, you can embed WordPress posts into your posts and pages. You don’t need a WordPress account to be able to use it. You can only embed public posts, though.

An Example:

Steps to embed a WordPress Post

1. You need to find the URL of the Post.

2. Go to your post or page
3. Add the WordPress block

4. Paste the link into the text box and click the “Embed” button

If it’s a link that can be successfully embedded you will see a preview in your editor.

If you’re using a link that cannot be embedded, the block shows a message, “Sorry, this content could not be embedded.”

You will have two choices: Try again with a different URL or convert it to a link.

6. Click on “Preview” to see how it will look on the front-end.

Via the Media Settings you can control the behavior of your post embed when viewed from a smaller device, like on a phone screen.

The Toggle switch turns on or off the resize functionality for smaller devices. The default setting is “on” or blue.

“Off:” This embed may not preserve its aspect ratio when the browser is resized. In the off position the toggle switch is gray.

“On:” This embed will preserve its aspect ratio when the browser is resized. The toggle switch turns blue in the “On” position.

Advanced

The advanced tab lets you add a CSS class to your block, allowing you to write custom CSS and style the block as you see fit.
