Where are the support forums?
-
I want to look up previous answers to questions I posted in the past but I can’t find the support forums! Where are they? Where is the link to get to them? I can’t find it on my dashboard nor on Google.
All I want to know is how to copy a major portion of a post to a new post. I want to copy several paragraphs and photos but not the entire post. I think someone answered that question for me a while ago but I forgot the answer.
What I want to do is move the section ‘Other Wildlife’ from https://cedarcourtgardens.wordpress.com/2022/05/08/season-2022/ to a another post . I want to add it to a larger post that already exists or that I am currently writing.
WP.com: Yes
Correct account: YesThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I have now found and bookmarked the support forums. I have also found my previous question and its answer. I realize my current problem is different.
I know how to move a single block or an entire post/page. What I want to do is move several blocks of an existing post and add them to another existing post. On Word Document or Classic Editor, I would simply highlight, copy or cut, and paste. Somehow, that does not work in Block Editor. It is far more complicated. How do I do it?
Here is what I want to do:
I want to move the section “Other Wildlife” from this post (https://cedarcourtgardens.wordpress.com/2022/05/08/season-2022/) and add it to this post (https://cedarcourtgardens.wordpress.com/2022/05/29/wildlife-at-cedar-court/). How? Do I have to move one little block at a time? How very inefficient!

You could move this Other Wildlife section from one post to another in a couple of ways.
When viewing your post in the editor, if you look to the upper left you will see a button with 3 horizontal lines, if you click on this it will enable a nice ‘list view’ of all the blocks on your blog post. This will make it easier to select more than one block at a time.
Select the first block in this list view that you want to copy. Then hold down the shift key on your keyboard while clicking on the remaining blocks that you want to copy.
Once you have all the blocks you want selected. Click on the 3 vertical dots next to one of the blocks in the list view and select ‘copy’. Once you click copy you will get a message on the lower left on your screen that shows X number of blocks have been copied.
Now you can go to the other post and paste them!
Another thing you can do (if this is a section of content you want to copy on multiple areas of your blog!) is instead of clicking on ‘copy’ when you have all of them selected, click on ‘Add to reusable blocks’ instead. This was this group of content is now one block that you can easily add anywhere on your blog.
Here is a video I recorded to show what I mean: Video
Hope this helps! :)

Yes, that worked beautifully! I had been holding down the control key and that did not work.
I’m still trying to figure out the Reusable Blocks concept but I’m not using it for this.

Great! I happy to hear that it worked! :D
The Reusable Block is a handy feature when certain content is to be used in multiple pages and posts. It can save a lot of time. :)
This page on the Reusable Block explains it in much greater detail: Reusable Block

I found your access granted email and watched the video now. Now I understand the Reusable Block concept…I think! Thanks so much!
