How to undo “transform to columns”

  • As a new Gutenberg user, testing how things work, I selected two blocks and chose “transform to columns”. Now they are appearing side by side as I expected. But now I want to change them back to how they were before – to undo that “transform to columns”, and I can’t see how. Is there a way to do that? Similarly, if I had chosen “transform to group”, how would I undo that? Surely there must be a way and for some reason I am just not seeing it?

    Once you’ve saved the content, the only way I know of is to use the code editor to manually, carefully, remove all column related tags from the raw HTML, leaving the content within intact.

    TBH, I’m not sure how we’d get to a transform to columns option to start with, so maybe I’m missing something. But manually through the code editor will certainly work. Before committing to code edits by saving, switch back to the normal editor. If the editor is unhappy with what you’ve done due to any introduced syntax error, it’ll let you know and ask you to convert to blocks or custom HTML. It’s probably better to locate and fix the syntax error than let the editor do such a conversion.
