The Posts block allows you to showcase a collection of posts on a single page, giving you full control over how your content is queried, organized, and displayed. Choose from multiple skins, layouts, and display options to create a post feed that matches your site’s design.

The block supports powerful query filtering by post type, category, tag, and author, and offers rich layout options including Grid, Masonry, and Carousel. You can also control what post information is shown — featured images, titles, meta, excerpts, badges, and read more links — all from a single settings panel.

Requirements: The Posts block is available in all our license plans. Before you get started, make sure you’ve published some posts with featured images so you have content to display.
