  I want to wrap text around an image on a post. I have searched everywhere and viewed videos, but I don’t seem to have the ‘tools’ on my dashboard they have in the demos’.
  For instance, there is no resizing button and when I press to ‘edit’ the image, I just get a screen for cropping, flipping etc.
  I’m getting a tad frustrated. I also need to know if I can perform this task on the WP app.
  Thank you.

  Hi there,

  On what site are you working, and are you using the block editor, or the classic editor?

  In the classic editor, insert the image, make sure it’s narrower than the paragraphs, and set it to be left or right-aligned, and text should automatically wrap.

  With the block editor, make sure to add the image block above the paragraph block, again make the image narrower, and then change the alignment to right or left, and the paragraph below the image block should automatically shift up to wrap around the image.

  @jessielansdel,

  To add to what @kokkieh has already said…

  For instance, there is no resizing button and when I press to ‘edit’ the image, I just get a screen for cropping, flipping etc.

  Resizing the displayed image in a post is different than resizing the image in the media library. The image icon icon that you refer to is for editing the image in the media library.

  The displayed version of an image in a page or post can be resized as described and illustrated in the Resizing Images section of the Image Block support page, where it says, just below the gif illustration:

  To resize an image, click it to reveal the resize handles. Then, click on the resize handles and drag the image to your desired size.

  The same process (dragging resize handles) is available in the WP-Admin and Classic editors.

  I was unable to find anything about resize handles in any of the support pages listed in the Images support page, in the Adding Images to Post or Pages and Media & Text Block support pages, or elsewhere in the support pages (other than in the Image Block support as mentioned above).

  Correction:

  Change “image icon icon” to “edit image icon.”
