Latest Posts Block: Post Layouts and Gutenberg Controls
Post display blocks for Gutenberg
Latest Posts Block Premium is a WordPress block editor plugin for arranging recent posts into content sections. It provides grid, list, full, express, and tile layouts, each with multiple pre-designed looks for blogs, magazine pages, news sections, and other content-focused layouts. It is designed for use without coding knowledge or a third-party page builder.
Premium includes 30+ posts box layouts. Use them for a latest-posts area, a category-focused section, or a structured content display within a page.
Choose posts and content details
Query settings let you select a category, set the number of posts, and order posts by date or name. Multiple category display designs are also available. For post content, choose image sizes; show or hide titles, categories, excerpts, and other meta items; and adjust excerpt length when excerpts are enabled. Custom read-more link controls let you set the link wording and presentation.
Typography and styling
Typography controls include more than 800 Google font families, with settings for font weight and subsets. Adjust text sizes for desktop, tablet, and mobile views. For post box details, Premium includes Font Awesome 5 icons for the author, date, and comment count.
Style the section with colors, box shadows, borders, border radius, content gaps, and spacing controls. These settings help shape the post section's visual hierarchy and align it with the rest of the page.

- Present recent posts in a multi-column homepage grid.
- Build a compact list for a sidebar or secondary content area.
- Show category-based posts with selected ordering and post counts.
