gragnani Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I built a small site as a class project -- slowspeedrail.com -- using the classic editor, and now I am expanding it into a larger capstone project. Each of my pages will include a lot of text, with photos in between (think of this as a master's thesis presented online). Using the classic editor, I was able to paste in a large amount of text, and then go back and easily add photos in between. Unless I'm missing something, the process in fluid engine is tedious. Each time I want to add a photo, I need to cut all the text below it, create a photo block, add the image, then create a new text block below it, and paste that text. For an example, slowspeedrail.com/slow-movement is a rough draft of a page I was working on. Am I doing this right? Unless there's a workaround I am missing, I'm thinking I either need to continue doing it this way, or perhaps set up my pages as individual blog posts, so that I can use the classic editor. Many thanks for any advice you can offer. Link to comment

Unless I'm missing something, the process in fluid engine is tedious. Correct. Fluid Engine is different and, although it offers many more flexible layouts, it doesn't offer a way to embed images in text like you can with the Classic editor. However, you can still add Classic sections - you don't need to use Fluid Engine sections if you don't want to. When you add a section, there's a link to the older sections in the very bottom left corner. Did this help?
