[Support request] Fetured blog posts but without the newest one

[Bart]

Hi

I don’t know if this is available but I have no idea anymore on my side how to do it.
So basically I do have a featured blog post on my main page and I use WP SHOW POST plugin for it and it is applied to block so it looks nice and big. I would, however, like to have underneath 3 more blog posts which are the latest ones but without copying the first one. And then when I post new blog the first one will be taken over by a new and then the latest becomes 2nd etc.

Or in the easier way. 4 latest blog posts are shown but the first one is big and bold to show that it is new.

Hi Bart,

WPSP has already merged with GenerateBlocks and you can use a Query Loop Block from GenerateBlocks to do so.

https://wpshowposts.com/weve-made-the-decision-to-merge-wp-show-posts-with-generateblocks/
https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/query-loop-overview/

Specifically, you can add two Query Loop Blocks.

One to Generate the Featured Post, and another for the other 3.

Just make sure to add an Offset parameter to the other Query Loop.

Hi Fernando

Awesome!!! Works perfectly.
One more question. So now it is a link that is clickable to direct to the blog post. But is there a way to make that when I click on the image I will be sent to the blogpost?

Hi there,

select the Image Block, in its dynamic settings you can set the Link Source to the Single Post

[Bart]

David you are the man. Any chance that the H2 which is under the photo would be hovering over the photo?

In that case, set the featured image as the container block’s background image instead of using an image block.

If you have GB pro, you can set the container link to single post, if you don’t have GB Pro, it will require some CSS to make the container clickable.

Let us know!

Hi Ying

Sounds more and more tempting to buy GB PRO 😀

[Ying]

Haha it looks like I’m a good sales person :p

GB Pro is definitely very powerful, and we introduced tabs and accordions to the latest version.
