Use Cases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
