Review full instructions for workaround.

Known issues with Gutenberg

Impacted area	Description	Status
Audio/video playlists – no block	There is no audio/video playlist block at this time.	Workaround: Use the “Shortcode” Gutenberg block, with the playlist shortcode. Details can be found on the WordPress codex.
Button block doesn’t respect colour selections when using Twenty fourteen theme.	Despite selecting foreground and backgroundcolours, the button background appears bright green (from the Twenty Fourteen theme)	Workaround: Instead of selecting one of the colour options you see, click the multicoloured wheel and select a ‘custom’ colour. These seem to work as expected.
Add block option (“+”) does not always display between blocks.	When you hover on the borders in between, above and below blocks, the + icon should appear to add a block in that space. Sometimes the one above the currently selected block does not appear.	Workaround: Try selecting another block, to shift the focus OR save your post as a draft and reload the post editor.
