Make up “Latest Posts” within the sidebar

Hi Tom,

You are using the WP latest posts block which we do not have control over, unfortunately.

And I don’t think there’s an option to add the featured image.

If you have GenreateBlocks plugin, you can use the query loop block and we will be happy to assist you in achieving the layout.

Hi there,

to save some time, create a new draft page.
In the editor Top Bar, 3 dot menu, select the Code editor view.

Copy and Paste in this code:

<!-- wp:generateblocks/query-loop {"uniqueId":"bbb96b2e","query":{"post_type":"post","per_page":"3","offset":""}} -->
<!-- wp:generateblocks/grid {"uniqueId":"ae4a818a","columns":1,"horizontalGap":20,"verticalGap":20,"isDynamic":true,"blockVersion":3,"isQueryLoop":true,"useLegacyRowGap":true,"lock":{"remove":true}} -->
<!-- wp:generateblocks/container {"uniqueId":"a5958d80","isGrid":true,"isQueryLoopItem":true,"gridId":"ae4a818a","isDynamic":true,"blockVersion":4,"display":"flex","columnGap":"10px","sizing":{"width":"100%","widthTablet":"100%","widthMobile":"100%","height":"100%","maxWidth":""},"spacing":{"paddingBottom":"","paddingBottomMobile":"15px","marginBottomMobile":"0px"},"borders":{"borderBottomWidth":"1px","borderBottomStyle":"solid","borderBottomColor":"#b2b2be"},"lock":{"remove":true,"move":true}} -->
<!-- wp:generateblocks/container {"uniqueId":"a7581b45","isDynamic":true,"blockVersion":4,"flexShrink":0,"flexBasis":"120px"} -->
<!-- wp:generateblocks/image {"uniqueId":"a77e6df6","sizeSlug":"medium","widthMobile":"100px","heightMobile":"100px","blockVersion":2,"borders":{"borderTopRightRadius":"0px","borderBottomRightRadius":"0px","borderBottomLeftRadius":"0px","borderTopLeftRadius":"0px"},"useDynamicData":true,"dynamicContentType":"featured-image","dynamicLinkType":"single-post"} /-->
<!-- /wp:generateblocks/container -->

<!-- wp:generateblocks/container {"uniqueId":"5a1f7f02","isDynamic":true,"blockVersion":4} -->
<!-- wp:generateblocks/headline {"uniqueId":"23a64d89","blockVersion":3,"typography":{"fontSize":"20px","fontSizeMobile":"16px"},"spacing":{"marginBottom":"6px","marginBottomMobile":"4px"},"linkColor":"#222222","linkColorHover":"#1e73be","useDynamicData":true,"dynamicContentType":"post-title","dynamicLinkType":"single-post"} -->
<h2 class="gb-headline gb-headline-23a64d89 gb-headline-text"></h2>
<!-- /wp:generateblocks/headline -->

<!-- wp:generateblocks/button {"uniqueId":"59a4d11a","hasUrl":false,"blockVersion":4,"display":"inline-flex","alignItems":"center","justifyContent":"center","typography":{"fontSize":"12px","textAlign":"center"},"spacing":{"paddingTop":"2px","paddingRight":"4px","paddingBottom":"2px","paddingLeft":"4px","marginRight":"4px"},"backgroundColor":"#0366d6","backgroundColorHover":"#222222","textColor":"#ffffff","textColorHover":"#ffffff","useDynamicData":true,"dynamicContentType":"terms","dynamicLinkType":"term-archives","termTaxonomy":"category"} -->
<span class="gb-button gb-button-59a4d11a gb-button-text">Button</span>
<!-- /wp:generateblocks/button -->
<!-- /wp:generateblocks/container -->
<!-- /wp:generateblocks/container -->
<!-- /wp:generateblocks/grid -->
<!-- /wp:generateblocks/query-loop -->

Switch back to Visual editor.

Now you can select the Query Loop block that added and copy and paste it to where you require.
With the Query Loop block selected you can edits block setting ( sidebar ) Paramters, currently its set to show 3 of the latest posts.
