Content Display is the Best Block to Showcase Your WordPress Content

The PublishPress Blocks plugin just got a big upgrade!

This plugin now features the best content block in WordPress.

If you think that’s hyperbole, you should give it a try. PublishPress Blocks is free on WordPress.org.

The block I’m talking about is called “Content Display“. This block allows you to show posts, pages and other content types in many beautiful layouts.

You also have dozens of different ways to customize your content. You can filter your content by author, category or tag. You can add many types of data to your layouts including posted date, updated date, images, authors, excerpts, intro text, comments and more.

After you install PublishPress Blocks, you can add the Content Display block to your posts:

Using the the toolbar on top of the block, you can choose between six views:

  1. Grid (demo)
  2. Frontpage (demo)
  3. List (demo)
  4. Masonry (demo)
  5. Newspaper (demo)
  6. Slider (demo)

You can see some demos in the links above. And I’ve added some more demos below – these are pulling directly from PublishPress blogs posts.

But the best way to see this in action is to install PublishPress Blocks and check out the Content Display block. Here’s the WordPress.org link again.

This block really is the best way to showcase your posts in the Gutenberg editor.


What’s next for PublishPress Blocks?

Over the next few week, we’ll add more new features to PublishPress Blocks. The Content Display block will have full support for custom post types. And you’ll be able to control viewing permissions for each block. There are also smaller features coming such as the ability to show authors their own posts.
