query loop

Hi there,

Yes, it’s possible. You just need to use three Query Loop blocks, each configured with the parameters to achieve your intended output.

Query loop one:
Post per page: 1
Parameter: Sticky posts > Only

Query loop two:
Post per page: Depends on how many posts you want to display
Parameter: Order by > Date

Query Loop three:
Post per page: Depends on how many posts you want to display
Parameter 1 : Offset > Enter the matching number of post per page on Query Loop two.
Parameter 2: Sticky posts > Exclude

..is there a way to force the featured image to show at a certain ration in the query loop?

Could you clarify what you mean by this? You can construct the image layout size as usual in the block editor.

Currently, the Query Loop block does not support a masonry layout by default.

Hi there,

to force the image aspect ratio in the free version of GenerateBlocks requires some CSS.

1. add this CSS to your site:

.force-aspect-1 {
    aspect-ratio: 1/1;
    object-fit: cover;
}

2. select the Image Block inside the Query Loop Post Template, and in Advanced > Additional CSS classes add: force-aspect-1

In Pro you can create a Global Style to do this:

1. select the Image Block
2. in the block settings sidebar create a new global style with a name eg. aspect-1
3. start with a blank style
4. in the global style setting Media panel set the:
4.1 Object Fit to Cover
4.2 Aspect Ratio 1/1
5. exist the global style and update the page to save the style.

Regarding the Pro license.
At the top of the sidebar of this forum theres an option to link your GenerateBlocks Pro license key.
This will allow us to see you have GB Pro on your user profile 🙂

Yeah for now you can use the free method with the CSS

Glad to be of help

I see the email regarding the license. I’ll reply there or ask one of the accounts team to reply. But theres no problem it not being attached , it just means we may have to ask you if you’re using GB Pro too.

Glad to be of help.
