Gutenberg – add image to text

    I am having a problem adding images to text blocks.

    I write some text and then later decide that I want to add an image to the text so that the text flows around it. Unfortunately I have been unable to find out how to do this. I can change the type of text block but I can’t find the control to convert it to text + image or any other way to add an image.

    Conversely I can create an image block and later convert it to an image + text but can’t find any way to do this with a text block.

    Insert a normal image block above a paragraph block. Put the image in there, then set the image to align to the right. Then resize the image by dragging the size of it. The paragraph below it will flow around it.

    Thanks Otto, very helpful.

    I would slap my forehead and exclaim “so obvious!” but sadly it wasn’t. Not finding this editor to be the intuitive interface it is touted as. Hopefully it will mature over time and inconsistencies like this will disappear.

    Indeed very helpful Otto, thanks!!!

    Any idea though why the image and text won’t align (as in this post and it’s very last pic): https://www.thearcticinstitute.org/future-european-arctic-socially-sustainable/

    Is that an issue with our theme?

    Thanks for your help
