New Gutenberg Editor not supporting h5 h6 ?

  • Hi,

    Made the jump to WordPress 5.x and behold the new editor has arrived.

    While editing an existing web article, I tried to add a subtitle further down the page as a Heading 5 – <H5> – But wait – Gutenberg doesn’t appear to support these smaller headings? I would love to embrace this new approach, but why loose support for H5, H6 ?

    I may have to switch to use the DIVI editor for posts (I use the DIVI theme) for now.

    I hope this gets fixed in a future update?

    Many thanks – PJ

  • The toolbar you can see when editing a heading only shows shortcuts for levels 2, 3 & 4, but if you look at the Block settings in the right column of the editor you’ll see the full set of headings as options.

    Can I ask though, do you need an h5 because you have a content section that’s 5 levels deep? Or just because you want a smaller heading?

    The heading levels actually have semantic meaning, and are meant to indicate which section of the page/document the content that follows is related to. Most sites should almost never need a 5th level heading. That would imply that your content has reached a sub-section of a sub-section of a sub-section of a sub-section of a section of a page.

    Hi Jacob,

    Thanks for the update. OK, the Block section was not showing, but found it now – it was in Document display mode!

    In the quest to minimise everything, sometimes things can go just a little too far sometimes!

    Still getting used to the visual editor, not a fan so far. I guess it will be handy for those who don’t know html or are fairly new to WordPress.

    Yes I have some articles that are 5 levels deep, not because of size. ??

    Thanks again!
