How do you start a new paragraph in the middle?

    I’m going back to some old posts that were created with the Gutenberg thingie. One of them has a separator line. After that is some text and an image. I cannot for the life of me make a little red plus thing pop up so I can add a paragraph after the seperator thing or before the image. I’ve spent 3 minutes moving the cursor around. The damn formatting toolbar pops up and blocks everything? I know I can create a new block somewhere else and then move it bit by bit with the arrows but is there really no better way to do this?

    You have to add a Block after the separator Block. Gutenberg has an option for his. Take a look at this picture:

    What you have to do: click on the separator-block on the 3 points > click on “insert after” > choose the Block to use after the separator Block.

    If I am guessing right, You’re looking for Drag and Drop system to move content up and down.
    one way to do that is to move by arrows that you already know.
    the second way is to enable List View. On the top bar you’ll see some icons on the left, Info, undo, redo, etc.
    You’ll also see the 3 horizontal Lines Icon, hove hover it will give you “List View” text, click on that then you’ll have a list of all the blocks that you have in your content, then you can drag and drop things there easily.

    Thanks! So is there any rhyme or reason to when those little red plus things pop up? Sometimes I see them, then I move my cursor to press them and they disappear! It’s so very annoying.

    I assume you mean the symbol for adding a new block with the plus. The fact that this plus is red in your case is a setting that probably comes from the theme you are using. By default it is blue.

    The plus is always visible in the content area of the Gutenberg editor when you have added a new block without assigning it a specific block type. However, you always have an identical symbol in the top left-hand corner with which you can also add a block.

    It might be a good idea to watch an introductory tutorial on Gutenberg. Here it is in text form: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-use-the-new-wordpress-block-editor/ – but there are also some videos on Youtube.
