[Resolved] Blog feeds by category

[Matt]

Hi – currently in the process of moving from Divi to GP. Could you point me in the right direction for how to create layouts similar the one on the homepage here, which includes latest and random blog feeds by category?

Hi there,

You would need the Query loop block from GenerateBlocks:
https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/query-loop-overview/

If you have a staging site set up, I would recommend installing Info or Newsroom from our site library as they are good examples of what you are trying to create:
https://gpsites.co/info/
https://gpsites.co/newsroom/

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Thanks. I’m testing it out on the site shared below (not my main site) and can’t seem to find the control for choosing whether the post title is pulled *onto* the feat image or underneath?

Also what’s the difference between this query block and the other one (same icon but without the lines) in WordPress?

The top left block on this example looks good with image filing the whole space, but when I recreate that on another site it is just a thin row of feat. image with white space above. How/where can we control that?

Hi there,

each of those query loops are all 100% built out of GenerateBlocks Blocks. So they can be edited in the block editor however you want.
The difference between GenerateBlocks Query Loop differs from the core query loop in: a) it has a much greater level of styling controls and b) it has a much better query builder with a lot more parameters to choose from.

If you want to replicate any of those designs then the simplest option is to copy then from that site to another.
Let me know.

ok thanks
