[Resolved] Use posts grid as Gutenberg block

[negative-network]

Hi, I’ve just loaded the “Mellow” template from the site library.

I would like to use the blog display (these 2 columns posts cards per row) on other pages, is it possible to use it as a Gutenberg block ?

Cheers

Hi there,

I’m not exactly sure what you mean.

Do you mean to use 2 column layout on non-archive page’s contents?

Yes that’s what I mean ! Use this layout as a Gutenberg block

If what you mean is to have a post query loop block that has the same layout and styling similar to the archive pages of Mellow:

I believe its possible but this will require a post grid plugin and a significant amount of custom CSS to match the styling. (unless the post grid plugin you’re going to use already has a card style similar to mellow’s post items)

You can try your luck with WP Show Posts and add it through a shortcode block. 😀

Hmm ok, I’m a web developer so I know how to do it, with or without an external plugin.

As a suggestion, I think it would be a great idea to always have the posts grid layout available as a Gutenberg block, would make things much easier 🙂

Hi there,

we have plans to add this kinda functionality to GenerateBlocks. Planned for a 2022 release 🙂
