    Hi :)
    I am writing a blog post with instructions for a craft activity.
    I have a numbered list, an want to put a couple of pictures between some of the items, then have the numbers continue after the pictures.
    I can do this in Word.
    In WordPress it restarts the numbering at 1 after the picture.
    I’ve tried pasting the formatting from Word.
    How do I fix it?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi @lisbethjstewart, this is possible with just a bit of HTML. Here’s what I recommend:

    1. Write your article, adding your lists. Ignore the numbering for now.

    2. Click on a section that needs a numbering change.* Using the three dots on the right, choose to edit as HTML. Change the very first part of the HTML so it looks like this, using the correct number of course:

    <ol start="3">

    3. Save your changes. Choose to convert to HTML if prompted.

    * Noting these steps are for the current editor. If you’re using Classic, edit the post as HTML/Text, then find each <ol> that starts a list. You’ll need to add start numbers there instead.

    Hoping this helps!

    Oh, I also wanted to note: we do hope this will become easier. I noticed this has been filed as a request here:

    You’re welcome to follow that conversation if you’d like. Cheers!
