== Description ==
**​The Ultimate Gutenberg Block to Display Posts, Pages, and Custom Content Beautifully**


[**Advanced Post Block**](https://bplugins.com/products/advanced-post-block/) | [**Documentation**](https://bplugins.com/docs/advanced-post-block/) | [**Pricing**](https://bplugins.com/products/advanced-post-block/pricing/) | [**Support**](https://bplugins.com/support/) | [**Demo**](https://bplugins.com/products/advanced-post-block/#demos)

[**Advanced Post Block**](https://bplugins.com/products/advanced-post-block/) is a Gutenberg blocks plugin for displaying posts, pages, and custom post types in WordPress with advanced query controls, filtering, and multiple layout options.

It supports grid, list, masonry, slider, ticker, accordion, and news-style layouts, allowing you to create dynamic post displays for blogs, magazines, and content-heavy websites. The plugin includes flexible query parameters such as category, tag, author, keyword search, and custom taxonomy filtering, along with query presets for faster setup.

Recent additions include AJAX-based post loading, pagination, load more, and infinite scroll, enabling seamless content browsing without page reloads. It also supports post view tracking and sorting by popularity, helping highlight trending or most-viewed content.

A built-in Template Library lets you skip the setup entirely — import ready-made, professionally designed post layouts in one click straight from the editor toolbar, with search, category and Free/Pro filters, live previews, and a favorites tab to keep the layouts you use most within reach.

You can control the visibility and structure of post elements, including featured images, titles, metadata, excerpts, and read more links. Built for performance and responsiveness, the plugin integrates directly with the WordPress block editor to create structured, customizable content layouts without coding.
