  • The default mode of the block editor is “visual”. You can insert rich text using the paragraph block, and all the other available blocks are “visual”. Is there something specific you’re trying to do that you’re having trouble with?

    Thanks Jacob, you lost me there. I’m used to, remember little switch classic, upper right, I think Visul/ Text. So easy. Where is that switch now? To see back and forth.

    It doesn’t exist anymore. That’s now how the new editor works. Is there something specific you’re trying to do that you’re having trouble with?

    Yeah, there is an embed code for podcast I copy and paste into text, old classic. With Block, you do html, but I don’t get that offering when click + sign.

    And other things too where nice to see all text of the post, how can one see all text

    Try the Custom HTML block for that: https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/custom-html/

    I have no clue what that podcast is and don’t have time to go hunt it down.

    So please, if you’d like help with this, as requested, copy/paste the code you were going to use in your post here into this thread using the “code” button above.

    HEre it is without the id , removed that….

    <iframe title=”Libsyn Player” style=”border: none” src=”//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/ /height/480/theme/standard/thumbnail/yes/direction/backward/” height=”480″ width=”100%” scrolling=”no” allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe>

    then see this uppper lift in pink:
    `Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.

    Ok, that wasn’t using the code button, but formatting appears to be usable.

    So, this is pasting that into a Custom HTML block, after fixing the quotes since it wasn’t presented in proper code format: https://d.pr/i/NVrK53

    The result saved, but did not render. It did leave space though: https://d.pr/i/1aBHtJ

    Browser console reports the following:

    GET https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/ /height/480/theme/standard/thumbnail/yes/direction/backward/ HTTP/2 500 Internal Server Error 73ms

    Which leaves two possibilities:

    1. The code is not formatted properly. Please paste it again using the “code” button above the reply field, as originally requested.

    2. Something is wrong on the podcaster’s end.

    Ah yes, if you want me to actually test this for you, I need that code, all of it.
