To style and display multiple photos on grids or flexbox within a blog post using Rich Text in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add a Rich Text element to your blog post: In the Webflow Designer, open your blog post template and add a Rich Text element where you want to display the photos.

  2. Upload and insert images: Inside the Rich Text element, click on the image icon in the formatting toolbar to upload and insert images. You can either upload new images or select from your existing media library.

  3. Wrap images in a container: After inserting an image, Webflow will automatically wrap it in a paragraph tag. To create a grid or flexbox layout, you'll need to wrap the images in a separate container element.

  4. Add a container element: Insert a div block element inside the Rich Text element by clicking the "+" icon in the formatting toolbar. This will serve as the container for your image grid or flexbox.

  5. Style the container element: Select the container element and set its display property to either grid or flexbox. Use the Styles panel to adjust other settings such as width, height, margins, and padding to achieve the desired layout.

  6. Apply styles to the images: By default, Webflow applies the "embedded-image" class to the images inserted through the Rich Text element. To style the images individually, you can target this class and add custom styling rules using the Styles panel.

  7. Customize the grid or flexbox layout: If you've chosen the grid layout for your images, you can use the grid properties like grid-template-columns and grid-gap to define the number of columns and the spacing between images. For flexbox, you can use justify-content and align-items to control the alignment of the images within the container.

  8. Preview and publish: After styling and organizing your images, preview your blog post to see how it looks. If you're satisfied with the results, publish your site to make the changes live.

By following these steps, you can style and display multiple photos using grids or flexbox within a blog post using Rich Text in Webflow.
