[Resolved] Block Element – Content Template for Custom Post Type Query Loop

[Kevin]

Hello, I’ve used the below tutorial for block elements to create a custom template view for my blog page and it works wonderfully. I also have a separate custom post type that I’m displaying on a static page in a list via the query loop. My question is how can I use the same content template method to style those custom post types listed through the query loop? I feel like I’m missing something very basic and I apologize, I couldn’t find a solution in the forum.

Hi there,

I’m displaying on a static page in a list via the query loop

Is that a core Query Loop block ?

[Kevin]

Hi David,

It is a core loop, not from a third-party plugin.

[David]

Yeah unfortunately its not possible with that block – as it only accepts its own inner theme blocks.
We’ll be releasing an update to GenerateBlocks soon that will allow you to custom build your own loops with all the features you have with the Content Template.

Its still a week or two away from alpha release.

Is that something worth waiting for ? Let us know – if not we can look at some alternatives.

[Kevin]

Absolutely worth waiting for! Love GeneratePress and Blocks and I look forward to this update.

Thanks for everything.

Awesome 🙂

Hello again, I was just checking in on this. I signed up for alpha/beta testing and turned that on for my site but I haven’t seen anything come through for GenerateBlocks Pro. I’ve never utilized this feature so I may just be doing something wrong. Thanks in advance.
