I didn't know I was doing a query loop then I tried to make this kind of setup for my categories and it was SO complicated! This looks like I could give it a try. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the amazing video😍 but I have one question don't show the bottom of posts 1,2,3...next or load more post kindly guide me on how I do this please especially I request you make a video on this
Perfect timing (almost! 😅). Yeah, this is going to make it sooooo much easier. And being able to target different archives - so good! There's just soooo much legacy built into GP.... But GB keeps coming up with better ways. Making the two co-exist is a tough challenge... But I think their focus right now is on reconciling those things.
Hey Kyle, thanks for creating these amazing tutorials. I'm trying to build a software listing website using GP Premium and GB Free version. I've created categories loop templates. However, I'm trying to figure out how to display the elements on the homepage. Under display rules, I've set the locations to - front page, all archives, tools category archive. Plugins I'm using - ACF and Filter Everything. Thanks again for guiding us :)
Thanks for sharing this. Generate Blocks is, without a doubt, the king of Block Plugins for power users and your videos show us just how easy it can be to use.
Hi Kyle, thanks for sharing vaulable information on building website for beginners like me. I am facing couple of issues while creating post loop at the bottom section of my post/page section. I am using basic version of Generate blocks and I wish to show all the posts, except the parent post, in the query loop. Do you have nay video on this? Kindly share the link. Highly appreciable. Secondly, I want to add slider to my post loops as well. Is there any simple CSS code for adding a slider to my post loops? Thanks
Amazing stuff! Thanks for sharing! One question... Is it possible to align the buttons vertically? In this video, the button of the post on the right side is higher than the buttons of the other posts. It would be nice if the buttons could be aligned independent of the size of the excerpt. Thank you in advance!
Yeah, this is a little trickier, but doable. In the current version of GB, you'll have to do this with CSS. I've wrote up a guide on how to do it: generatetweaks.ogal.dev/consistent-cards/ in the future version of GB, you'll have all the flexbox controls to do this right in the UI
Great Kyle. Btw do you know how to add both date and time to each post? It seems that it's only possible to choose "post date" in the Dynamic Data section, but I to also show the time.
There are options for all that built in. If you just drop in a Headline block to your loop, you can enable the dynamic data and pick things like category, tag, author name, etc. It's all there for you!
This is awesome! Thank you for such speedy update. However, I'm struggling with how to set those up in WP, should I set those up using Posts/Page, or can I set those content up using Custom Post Type? Also do I need to set up a Page just to server as a "holder" for the template loop? I would appreciate alot if a more complete setup can be revealed to rookie like myself 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I think this mostly centers around the "archive" pages, which are automatically created for things like your tags and categories (where it shows a list of all your posts). So you don't need to create a page or post for it. No "holder" for anything - that's essentially what this Block Element does. I know it's hard to grasp at first, but it will click, I promise!
Thanks for this - I set it up and it is working perfectly - But - on mobile, it displays 3 posts just like on desktop - how to get it to recognize a mobile phone and just display one post?
@@TheAdminBar No worries, I like to try to solve things myself, that way I remember them. I do have a question. I added pagination using Generate Blocks to the bottom of the Post loop element, but the pagination does not display when I activate the post loop. Any thougths?
Couldn"t be released a week ago??? 🤪 When I finished my battle in the "old" fashion...tho the outcome was still spectacular. Nice little tweak guys. Great work!
hahahah, right?!? Yes, I've sturggled before too. All of it was doable before, but you had to go back and forth in the customizer to set some of the things (like the number of columns, gap, etc). This is much, much easier.
Hello Kyle, Can you share a filter where we can show infinite posts with a right arrow where user can click on arrow on right to see next posts in one single row 3 column block. I saw lots of your videos but it isn't there.
I'm guessing this won't work on WooCommerce Product loops? If GP could just add some more GP magic to the WooCommerce side of things it would make the theme and their blocks unbeatable.
How do I build a custom author template using the loop template. I have designed the entire template and in the end the loop is picking the posts from the entire website and not just from the author whose page I am on. What should I do?
@@TheAdminBar When we use "Content Templat" it has option to set for "All Posts" or "First Post". We can have different design for first post. With loop template, there was no such option so I changed the design with CSS first child.
Hey there, Do we need GPblocks pro for all this? I saw soo many tutorial but I was not able to create a single page in GP I use templates. Kadence is bit easier as far as I have worked on it. Please let me know some way to design a good homepage basic but which interlinks all article.
Great demo Kyle. My archive page is now coming together nicely :)

Yes, it was daunting before. This is much more straight forward. You got this! 💪

The king of GP & GB
I love these tuts ❤
hahahah I'm not sure I'm quite ready for that title 😂 But thank you for the kind words!
Was just struggling with this today, trying to remember all of the steps. Just updated to 2.2 and it is a breath of fresh air for sure.

🙌 It just keeps on getting better... but not by adding a million shiny things.
Thank you. This is such a concise and helpful tutorial
Glad you enjoyed!
Well done! This is so much easier than before. Time to update some of my sites. :) Great job Kyle.
Aw, thanks Brian! Means a ton coming from you! Thank you for watching!
You killed it again, Kyle. 🤣
Kyle is awesome. - TAB
you made my day man!!!! You have a new fan!!!
Wahoo! 🙌
This is great. I created my loop, but how do I add it to a specific page I am creating?
You can create a loop on any page. Just add the loop block.
Easy to follow and I am already in production with this tutorial. Thanks, Kyle!
Thanks for all the work you put into giving us so much value.
For some reason I can't find pagination on my archive page after setting this.
Hummm You should have the option to add the pagination in the popup toolbar on your post loop. I think it's just a little "plus" icon.
@@TheAdminBar Thanks, I found it.
I wonder if you can use the horizontal scrolling cards next to the query loop and put a category with the style you did in the video

Glad to hear it, Juned! 🙌
🙂Yes! I struggled through the query loop before and while I did get it done, man, this looks so much easier. I have some updating to do.
Yep, I think you're gonna find this much easier!
Can we design category pages using this template? Do you have a video on that? Kindly share the link if you do.
Great video, is it possible to align the text to the side of the image, i have tried many times and can't seem to figure that out.
Great Kyle. Btw do you know how to add both date and time to each post? It seems that it's only possible to choose "post date" in the Dynamic Data section, but I to also show the time.
Hummm that's a good question... I'm not sure!
Thanks for the great tutorial. Do I need any plugin to make a query loop? I'm a WP beginner. Thanks, Dana
GenerateBlocks has one built in... so you won't need anything additional.
Lovely! Could you please suggest me some place where I can buy some starter designs for GeneratePress other than the ones in official site?
Mike Oliver has a wireframe kit that's pretty legit: mikeoliver.me/generateblocks-wireframe-patterns/
Could you please do another video for post loops that includes different layout
I'll see what I can do!
Thank you so much, Kyle :)
No problem!
That’s really awesome, thanks Kyle! How would you include meta data in your loop e.g. date, category, author etc.? 😊

Hi. Can I program the loop so it only shows the post from a certain category?
this is cool

Great video! But how can I change the pagination into an infinity loop?
That's a good question... I'm not sure!
@@TheAdminBar I contacted GP support, and it's on their feature list for the future. Hopefully it won't take very long to implement.
How to make read more button on equal height for each card , specifically at the bottom of the card?
Hello Kyle, Can you share a filter where we can show infinite posts with a right arrow where user can click on arrow on right to see next posts in one single row 3 column block. I saw lots of your videos but it isn't there.
Cheers bruv.

I'm guessing this won't work on WooCommerce Product loops? If GP could just add some more GP magic to the WooCommerce side of things it would make the theme and their blocks unbeatable.
I'm not sure on the Woo stuff - I avoid it like the plague 😂
it would be great if you could do a video based on this loop but with a sidebar that adds dynamically posts based on tags or categories
Thanks, I'll add that to my list!
Good
Thanks!
How do I build a custom author template using the loop template. I have designed the entire template and in the end the loop is picking the posts from the entire website and not just from the author whose page I am on. What should I do?
I don't think this option exists natively with GB. You'd have to write a custom query I believe.
@@TheAdminBar How do I write a custom query? Can you share a link to any video/post?
With this loop tempalte, we can't control first post as with content template.
Any solution for this?
What do you mean exactly by "control the first post"?
@@TheAdminBar When we use "Content Templat" it has option to set for "All Posts" or "First Post". We can have different design for first post.

How to add pagination navigation?
When you select your Query Loop Block, there is an icon for adding pagination. It adds in a button element that you can style up :)
