Block Editor
Blocks can be added in any page or post. To add a new block in the editor, simply click into the content and press “Enter” on your keyboard, creating a new line. The “+” icon should come up, which you can click and choose a new block. You can also optionally start typing and it will by default add your typed text into a paragraph block.
See the diagrams below for a quick outline of the pieces of a single post or page:


Note in the diagrams we have labeled some things:
- Block Editor/ Page Editor/ Page Content: This big area is where you lay out your page with blocks and content.
- Custom Fields: Certain pages and posts will have custom fields you can fill out to complete the layout. These fields are baked into these pages and work independently from blocks.
- Right Sidebar: This holds your Page Settings and Block Settings
- Page settings: This lets you define things in the page such as the featured image, the page slug (url), categories and more.
- Block Settings: These settings pertain to the block you have highlighted in the Block Editor.
- Left Sidebar/ Wp-admin sidebar: This is the navigation for the wordpress backend.
Custom Blocks
In addition to the standard Gutenberg blocks, we have also created several custom blocks based on the site comp. If you would like to bring up all custom blocks, when you create a new block, click “browse all” and then search for “sperling”. It will bring up all the blocks you see below:

Testimonial Slider
This block is a repeater that will let you show one or several testimonials in slider format. This block also features an optional photo area to feature 2 static photos. It is recommended that you do not use this block within small spaces such as within a column, as the horizonal width of the block is quite large.

Each stat counter block will display one statistic. Within each statistic, you can pass through a number, a symbol before and/or after the number, and the name of the statistic.
