There are a lot of elements in the WordPress editor that you can use to add anything to your post. Below are the most popular elements and how to use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Headings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Headings are a part of the WordPress elements that you can use to organize, or in other words, outline your content. Headings comprise H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6. But the ones that are used most frequently are H1, H2, and H3. To add headings to your post, first, you need to select the block and type a text like ‘I love writing on WordPress’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can click on the H2 option to change it to the preferred heading element you want to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Links are a part of the WordPress elements that are used to navigate from one web page to another. Links can be highlighted on images or text; when clicked or tapped, they will take the user to a different page on another website or the same website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, when it comes to adding links in WordPress, we have internal links and external links. An internal link means you link a post on your WordPress site to another post, while an external link means you want to link a post on your WordPress site to a different website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To add a link to your post, first, you need to create a text and highlight it using ‘Ctrl + A’ if you’re using Windows or using ‘Command + A’ if you are using a Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An image is a visual WordPress element you can add to your post to enhance readability for your users. A featured image is an image that represents the focus or topic of the post. A featured image is usually displayed on the main blog page or when you share your post on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To add an image to a WordPress post, first, you need to open a new block and click on the plus icon on the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
