Go back to the list of Blocks<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nCreating an audio block<\/em> will allow you to embed a piece of music, podcast, or other sound file right into your page or post.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn order to add an audio block<\/em>, click on the inserter icon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou can also type \/audio and hit enter in a new paragraph block to add one quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUse the slash command \/audio to insert an audio block.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDetailed instructions on adding blocks<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nBlock Interface<\/h2>\n\n\n\nEvery block comes with unique toolbar icons and block-specific user controls that allow you to manipulate the block right in the editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe audio block<\/em> has an alignment toolbar icon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAdding Files<\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhen you add an audio block<\/em>, you get three options: Upload, Media Library,<\/em> and Insert from URL.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe audio block<\/em> allows you to Upload Media, use media in your Library, or add from a custom URL.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nUpload will allow you to upload a new audio file from your computer. Media Library lets you select a file that\u2019s already uploaded to your site\u2019s Media Library. Insert from URL lets you input a URL where the file has already been uploaded, on WordPress.com or elsewhere on the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce you\u2019ve selected your audio file you can start configuring your audio block<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlignment<\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhen you select your audio block<\/em>, a toolbar will appear where you can change block’s alignment. Choosing right or left will allow you to place another block alongside the audio block<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\nNone <\/strong>\u2013 Default alignment option.<\/li>\n\n\n\nWide width <\/strong>\u2013 Increase the width of the post beyond the content size.<\/li>\n\n\n\nFull width<\/strong> \u2013 Extend the block to cover the full width of the screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\nAlign left<\/strong> \u2013 Make the block left-aligned.<\/li>\n\n\n\nAlign center <\/strong>\u2013 Make the block alignment centered.<\/li>\n\n\n\nAlign right <\/strong>\u2013 Make the block right aligned.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nReplace Audio<\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis is another option in the audio block\u2019s<\/em> toolbar. Choosing this will allow you to select a new audio file for your block. Use this if you need to replace the audio file in your audio block<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCaption<\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf your audio file has a caption in the Media Library, it is shown below the audio player:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf your file does not have a caption in the Media library, you can add a custom caption by selecting the Add caption option in the toolbar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBoth the Media Library caption and the placeholder text are editable. Select the caption to edit the text. You can use the caption toolbar to make the text bold or italic, or add a link. Select the arrow icon in the toolbar to access more options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou can remove a caption by selecting the Remove caption button in the toolbar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMore Options <\/h3>\n\n\n\nThese controls give you the option to copy, duplicate, and edit your block as HTML.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRead about these and other settings.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nBlock Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\nEvery block has specific options in the editor sidebar in addition to the options found in the block toolbar.
