Advanced Post Block Pro

Advanced Post Block Pro lets you select WordPress posts, pages, or custom post types and arrange them in a Gutenberg block. Add the block to a page or post, pick the content and its layout, then adjust the show in the editor.

Query options determine which content appears. Layout and presentation settings determine how readers see it. The Pro edition includes templates, layouts, query presets, and more controls for interactive displays.

Templates and layouts

The Pro Template Library includes Pro-only layouts that you can import from the editor toolbar. Search the library, filter by category or Free/Pro status, preview templates, and save favorites in their own tab.

Layout options include Grid 1, Timeline, List Left/Right Even-Odd, and Overlay Content Box sub-layouts. Timeline can execute vertically or horizontally. Set its maximum width, line width, dot style, position, and size. Dates can sit inline, in the gutter, or on a badge, with optional grouping by year and month.

Accordion and ticker settings

Accordion themes include With Thumbnail, Numbered FAQ, Split Panel, and Minimal Lines. Choose whether multiple panels can stay open, set the animation speed, select from 12 additional indicator icon sets, and apply Lift or Zoom hover animations.

Ticker displays have settings for direction, speed, interval, height, visible post count, and pausing on hover. News ticker options also include a label, theme, type, and animation. These controls can present headlines, announcements, or longer lists in a compact display.

Choose and load content

Filter posts, pages, or custom post types by category, tag, author, keyword, or custom taxonomy. Set ordering and offsets, or include and exclude exact posts by ID. Pro query presets offer quicker setups for Popular, Random, Sticky, Most Comments, Related Posts, and other supported selections.

Readers can view results with pagination, previous and next navigation, load more controls, or infinite scroll. AJAX loading adds posts without reloading the page. Post view tracking and popularity sorting can help surface frequently viewed content.

Display and design controls

Choose whether to display featured pictures, titles, metadata, excerpts, and read more links. Metadata can include dates, authors, and categories. Adjust alignment, typography, padding, colors, borders, shadows, hover animation, and backgrounds. Responsive settings cover mobile, tablet, and desktop screens.

Shortcode support includes another way to place post blocks around the site. Adjust block settings in the WordPress editor and preview the result in its page or post.

Add the block

1. Open a page or post in the WordPress block editor.
2. Select the plus icon and find Advanced Post Block in its category.
3. Add the block, choose a Pro layout or template, then set the post type and query.
4. Configure the display, filtering, and design options, then save or publish.
