  This is because your Latest Posts block is set to display Excerpts instead of Full Posts, excepts don’t execute HTML, like links.

  Instead, switch it to display full posts: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/latest-posts-block/#block-settings

  Or, use the Blog Posts Block instead, which will give you a lot more control: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/blog-posts-block/

  Hi there,

  Just adding that this is a bug with the Latest Posts block. It has been fixed on WordPress.org already, and the fix should be deployed here on WordPress.com within the next week.

  But as the Blog Posts block works generally the same, you can just keep using that one instead :)
