Is there a bulk edit tool to change the default WP paragraph block to GP text blocks? Having to change them one at a time when migrating content is a huge time suck and I can’t find anything in the documentation about bulk changing. And the best I can find when selecting multiple WP paragraph blocks is to change them to another default WP block but not a GP block.

Hi there,
Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to do so.
However, if you do not need to apply styles to the text, the default WP paragraph block is as light as GB’s text block.

Thanks for confirming; unfortunately, everything I need is what the WP paragraph blocks don’t provide and there’s no way to implement a copy/paste action for something like a line break list of items where applying the div tag to remove that wretched paragraph break margin in the default WP paragraph block.
This is used all the time for my client base (nonprofits) that need to create donor lists that are hundreds to thousands of names long. Fitting that many names into lists requires using all of the styling options GP Text Blocks provide and my clients don’t have the skills to maintain something like a CSS hacked OL list. They need to just copy and paste. It would be amazing if GP could accommodate this need with their text blocks.

You have GB pro, you can wrap the paragraphs with a container, and create a new selector
p, setmargni-bottomnto0, that’s it 🙂 -

Unfortunately, that’s not something my clients will ever remember how to do so yes, it’s an option but one that requires far too high a skill set for average content managers. I’ve mentioned this a few times already but it’s a direction I keep seeing GP move and it’s losing sight of the fact that day to day content managers can’t keep up with these increasing skills demands. They need better solutions. The bulk apply tool to convert default WP paragraph blocks is something obtainable, telling them to remember where to even find the settings to modify a container’s selector isn’t.

Hi there,
Thank you for the feedback. I’ll bring this up with the dev team to see if there’s a possibility of making the bulk transform tool available. Hopefully it is something we can do.
