  Where is the “Insert Read More tag” option on the new blocks editor? I gave it a try, but this is the one feature that is missing or I can’t find it.

  I like my posts to have a few sentences preview, then a “read more” option. Can anyone help?

  Thanks.

  Hi yarigarciawrites

  I have just found the way to add excerpt and read more button to your post. Just have a look on the screenshot given below:

  You can also have look to my test post i created using Gutenberg editor having excerpt with read more button. here is the link to that post(Testing something new):

  Hi yarigarciawrites

  Gutenberg includes “More block” under common block section. So, the exact way to add read more option is to add ‘more’ block to your post.

  Here is the screenshot for that:

  Hope this helps.

  Hi shubhamgmath,

  Thank you so much! The “more” block is exactly what I was looking for. It works! I appreciate your help :-)
