Embed Block

Easily add videos, images, tweets, audio, and other content from third-party sources to your post or page.

Embed Alignment

All WordPress embeds in Gutenberg can be aligned in three ways:

  • left
  • center
  • right

Left & right alignments will wrap the following text around the embed, while the center alignment will simply center it on the page.

Embed Captions

Every WordPress embed also supports an optional caption displayed beneath the embed. Bold, italic, strikethrough & links are supported in captions.

Additional CSS Class

The only other option for embeds is the ability to add a custom CSS class. This can be found in the advanced settings panel in the right sidebar.
