Use Cases

The Media Divider block is best used to break up large chunks of text while simultaneously making a page more visually interesting to the reader. This block stylizes images in a wider, more eye-catching format than a standard Image block. This block can also be a nice way to highlight stunning photography, as it sprawls across a large portion of a page.

Features

To add a Media Divider block to a page, click the “Add a block” button and choose “Media Divider” from the block list. Alternatively, the block can be found by using the “Search for a block” function. For more information on blocks and adding them to a WordPress site, see our documentation on managing blocks.

After adding the Media Divider block, upload an image or choose one from the Media Library. WordPress will then implement the wider styling across the page.

The Media Divider block can also display a video file. To use this option, in the right-hand menu click “Select an .mp4 File.” When an .mp4 is uploaded this way, the original image will act as a thumbnail on the page.
