Title: Paragraph block missing in WP Editor Last modified: February 7, 2020 --- # Paragraph block missing in WP Editor * [eugenehunt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eugenehunt/) * (@eugenehunt) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-block-missing-in-wp-editor/) * Greetings, * I am new to WP and experience all kind of problems. On top of that, today I have tried to experiment with my pages/posts and found that ‘paragraph block’ is missing in the list of available blocks and can’t be added, here is the screen: [https://www.screencast.com/t/3CMyBXaAIJNw](https://www.screencast.com/t/3CMyBXaAIJNw) * I can add heading, images, groups, everything but not the paragraphs! Meanswhile, somedays ago the ‘paragraphs’ were there and I was adding them [https://www.screencast.com/t/r3goFc1F](https://www.screencast.com/t/r3goFc1F) * I have Astra free theme, done all the edits with WP editor, standard list of pre-installed plugins (no TinyMCE which was responsible for similar issue with another user here). Please suggest how to return my paragraph blocks. Thank you!

I would suggest trying the Classic editor by installing the classic editor plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/) * If that does not solve your issue then I’d suggest asking for support in the Astra themes support forum [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/astra/](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/astra/). This might be a theme issue. * Hope this helps. * Thread Starter [eugenehunt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eugenehunt/) * (@eugenehunt) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-block-missing-in-wp-editor/#post-12409884) * THank you for suggestion, will try. But is there any way to fix it with Block Editor? * I have worked with Classic editor before with custom-build website, but never used it customize page layout, etc. Can you enlighten me does Classic editor has same functionality in terms of adding blocks/images/headers where I want them? It’s available with Block Editor (except that paragraph issues I described in my first post) but I am not sure about the Classic… * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-block-missing-in-wp-editor/#post-12410178) * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles. * If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/) On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal visitors to your site**. You can then use its admin bar menu to turn on/off plugins and themes one at a time. * [Davood Denavi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/binarywc/) * (@binarywc) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-block-missing-in-wp-editor/#post-12411279) * As Steve said you can try using health check plugin or you can contact the themes support community as I suggested yesterday, personally I’m not familiar with the Astra theme and I don’t use block editor yet on any sites that I own or manage so that’s those are the best solutions I can provide. * Thread Starter [eugenehunt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eugenehunt/) * (@eugenehunt) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-block-missing-in-wp-editor/#post-12411669) * Hi Davood and Steeve, * Thank you for suggestions and answering so quickly. I had to switch to other issues until now so sorry for late reply. * I wanted you to have an idea of plugins installed on my site so here is the screenshot [https://www.screencast.com/t/8eGeVRCr](https://www.screencast.com/t/8eGeVRCr) as you can see they are just a few. I have Astra basic theme so it’s also an unlikely suspect. * Before I tried your suggestions, I have lost another hour going through Youtube staff on various problems with WP until I found a hint and used it to solve my problem. Actually the suggestion was as in your post – skip Block Editor and go to Classic. What I did was typing the ‘classic’ in the search box when picking a ‘block’ I need: [https://www.screencast.com/t/JJUV3xbnI3p](https://www.screencast.com/t/JJUV3xbnI3p) which I did purely out of curiosity. * To my surprise, after that I gota block with ‘classic’ set of tools including‘ paragraph’ block: [https://www.screencast.com/t/WDcbZUGpo](https://www.screencast.com/t/WDcbZUGpo) Note that I have 2 types of blocks at the same post: (1) a classic one which enables paragraphs and (2) the new type of block coming from the new editor. * I don’t know if that leads to any problem in future but I will settle them as they arize. All these experimenting looks like a great waste of time, actually, but in the absence of other solutions for building websites quickly at a low cost, I will continue climbing my not so steep learning curve with WP. - This reply was modified 6 years, 6 months ago by [eugenehunt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eugenehunt/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 6 months ago by [eugenehunt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eugenehunt/).
