  Man, I really can’t stand the block editing feature. It makes no sense to me. I’ve never groked it. And I can’t even figure out how to switch to the classic editor even after finding articles about how to do it.

  I just want to be able to place 6 images side-by-side, i.e., horizontally, on the home page. If it’s still like it was back in the old classical editor WordPress days, it’ll be no trouble to make the image clickable to open a specific page. That’s what I’m ultimately trying to do. I just can’t figure out how to place images next to one another in a row across using the F-ing block editor.

  Will be extremely grateful for any assistance anyone can provide here!

  Actually the site I’ll be doing it with is restorethesnyderverse.com.

  It’s very simply with the Column block, https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/columns-block/

  Thanks for that advice, I tried using it. However I’m finding that the column block doesn’t let me place the images (rectangles) immediately adjacent to one another as if they’re grid. Also, when I select to make the images linkable to other pages on the site, that function doesn’t work when I test it.

  Is there a simple way to return to the classical editor?

  Depending on the plan you have, The advanced tab lets you add a CSS class to your block, allowing you to write custom CSS and style the block as you see fit, https://wordpress.com/support/adding-additional-css-classes-to-blocks/.
  If you prefer the classic editor, you must use the Classic Block, https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/

  You could also use the Layout Grid Block, https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/layout-grid-block/

  Thank you for helping out here! I will try those today!

  You seem knowledgeable about WP so while I have you: how do I add someone else to give them access to the site so that they can help me work to develop it, and add new content, etc.? I’ll search it myself but just if you have a quick answer for that. Thanks again, I really appreciate your assistance!
