How to Use the Separator Block in WordPress?
Like every other core WordPress block, the Separator Block is easy to use. Follow the tutorial and master using this block.
Step 1: Insert the Separator Block
Select and edit the post where you want to insert the separator block. Now, click the “+” (Add Block) icon (1), type “Separator” in the search box (2), and click the “Separator” (3).

After clicking the separator, it will be inserted into the editor.

Step 2: Style the Separator
Based on your website’s theme, the Separator block can appear as a small straight line or as wide.
If it is a small line, you can make it wide simply by choosing the wide line. To do so, you must select the block and navigate to Settings (1 ) > Block (2) > Style (3) > Wide Line (4).

You can make your separator appear like dots, too. In that case, you have to select the Dots option.

The Separator block also allows you to change the background color of the separator.

Finally, you can add margins to your separator.

The Styling option is optional; it is up to you to customize the separator block.
Remember that you must publish or save the post or page before exiting to save your changes.
