problem converting old material to block

  • brettalansanders · Member ·

    On my Publication History page
    https://wordpress.com/page/brettalansanders.wordpress.com/22
    as I tried to convert the old material to new block form, I ended up with its converting fine for much of it, but for middle sections it gave it to me in HTML format. Then it gave me the option of Preview, which I clicked on and it looked okay; but I wanted to do edits and it gave me no option but to Update, which I did. But then going back to edit it still won’t allow me to do so. It looks to me like my only two options are to leave it alone or to erase it all and re-do it, which will be a real pain. Any other alternatives?

    Hello there,

    It looks like the majority of the page has converted into blocks, with anything before or after the blockquotes being transformed into HTML blocks.

    Looking at the content there, it looks like there’s HTML that’s causing an issue with that being converted.

    My advice, would be to recreate these sections of the page to rule out anything that may be causing a problem there.

    I hope this advice helps.

    Thanks. That’s pretty much what I expected.
