  I have a site using WordPress 5.4.2 running Brigsby theme. When entering text in a content box I want to know how to format font without having to activate the Classic editor plug-in each time I want to edit font (eg. make bold, hyperlink to another site etc). Even if I activate the Classic editor, add my text, format accordingly, make live, then deactivate the classic editor so that I can go back to using Gutentor which I usually use, it often reverts the formatting I have put in place (eg. with my choice of bullets etc).

  I can’t seem to find out how to do this, yet it is such a basic thing. What am I missing?! I am new to using this so appreciate if anyone who can help with this.

  How that will help? https://www.carrvillemethodist.org.uk/.

  The impact of not being able to edit my site using the block editor (as opposed to classic mode) is for example, on this page https://www.carrvillemethodist.org.uk/support-during-coronavirus/ I am missing a 3rd column (on the right) which I can’t sort in the classic mode.

  Thank you for your response.

  It seems like your site was created with a self hosted version of WordPress (sometimes known as WordPress.org). This forum is for the WordPress.com sites.

  You can read more about this here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Hope this helps!
