more headings are needed

Heading 1, Heading 2 etc. are *levels* of headings, not the number of headings. You can have as many Heading 2s as you’d like, for example.

If you are in fact still talking about levels, then you should really reconsider your content. 6 levels of headings is probably already too many to be using in one document, let alone more.

Regardless, the 6 heading levels offered in the editor are limited by the number of heading levels that are part of HTML itself. So it’s not possible to add more.

all things are OK but I need more than 6 heading. what should i do?

Are you able to explain a little more on that? Are you more or less asking about the styling of the content?

thanks for your answer.

my problem is the heading level. I need all 9 MS word levels in my blog.

for example how can I add custom CSS classes to heading 7 after pasting from MS word. after that I will style it manually.

I need all 9 MS word levels in my blog.

I’m not familiar with how Word does that unfortunately, and I’m sure there are a few others who may not be as well. What Jacob was explaining is that on the web there are only 6 heading elements on a web page. Info about this can be found here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/heading_elements

Now for this: how can I add custom CSS classes to heading 7 after pasting from MS word

This might vary on how your editor screen is set up. One way would be to switch to the Text tab if you are using the default editor and then adding it manually like you would any HTML document.

If you are using Gutenberg, you would simply go to Settings > Advanced and add your CSS classes in the input field.

my blog has some writers and they copy text from MS word. I can add classes in editor but I have too many posts. It’s impossible to add classes for each heading(7-9) in each post.

what is the solution?

The only real solution is to not write posts that have 9 levels of headings. Ask your writers to stick to the 6 that are available on the web. If they are writing for the web then they should be doing this anyway.
