It’s pretty easy to add a horizontal line separator in the WordPress block editor. You can use the built-in Separator block to do it, and the best part is the whole process doesn’t even take a full minute to get done.
To add the horizontal line separator, just go to the page or post where you want to add it and click on the (+) icon to add a new block. Then search for the Separator block and insert it when it’s found.
Once added, the separator looks like a small horizontal dash by default. You can change the line separator styles, colors, and dimensions in the style tab from the right-hand side panel.

You’ll need a plugin that lets you add a premium-looking separator to make your line separator look more advanced.
