Use this interactive demo to learn how to modify HTML code directly inside your WordPress posts.

Quick summary

The WordPress Block Editor lets you edit HTML in any block by switching to HTML view, making direct code changes, and saving them — no plugins or external tools required. This step-by-step process gives content editors full control over raw HTML inside individual WordPress post blocks.


Steps

  1. Click the block in the WordPress Block Editor that contains the HTML code you want to edit.
  2. Select 'HTML' from the floating toolbar that appears above the selected block.
  3. Make your desired modifications — add, remove, or revise the HTML code as needed.
  4. Tap 'Preview' to review how your changes will appear on the published post.
  5. Click 'Save' to apply and publish the recent HTML changes to your WordPress post.

📌 Why this matters

Editing HTML directly inside WordPress posts gives content creators and developers precise control over formatting, embeds, and custom markup without switching to a separate code editor. The WordPress Block Editor's built-in HTML view makes it fast and accessible — no plugins or technical setup required. For teams managing content at scale, knowing how to edit raw HTML in WordPress reduces reliance on developers and speeds up publishing workflows. This capability is essential for anyone who needs to fine-tune code-level details inside individual post blocks.
