 * Hi, I’ve been searching for a long time to find out how to apply a gradient to
   a container background, but I can’t find it in the new 2.x interface. Where has“
   use gradient” been moved to?

 * Hi there.
   In the block editor on the right panel, click the styles tab and scroll
   down to find the **BACKGROUNDS** tab. You can insert a gradient from the **BACKGROUND
   TYPE** dropdown.[https://i.imgur.com/SxpPn8Q.png](https://i.imgur.com/SxpPn8Q.png)

 * Hi [@quantum_leap](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quantum_leap/) perfect,
   I found it. Thank you! I like version 2.x, although I feel that in 1.x everything
   was within easy reach. I’m sure I’ll get used to it.
 * Thanks again.

 * Yeah, I agree with you. A bit of a learning curve but extremely powerful! Mind
   you, there is also a search functionality in the block settings where you can
   search for the option you want and it updates the UI automatically to show the
   settings your have searched for. Try it!
