Latest blog posts not showing up
-
Good morning – I’d appreciate any help you can give me. I am using the Nook theme. The latest posts are not showing up – they appear after the next post is posted. They do show up in the editor, just not in the live site. Any ideas?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi! Could you clarify what you mean by:
they appear after the next post is posted
Am I correct in thinking that means the latest posts never show? And that they only appear on the site after the subsequent post has been published?
-
Hi – YES, exactly right. They only appear once the next post gets posted (which then does not show up).

Hello there,
I checked the index template and noticed it’s using the Blog Posts Block. If you remove and replace it with the Query Loop Block, it should show the latest post. Once it is inserted, you can make it two columns by clicking grid view for the Post Template block.
The number of columns can be adjusted in the right-hand settings.
This should work better since the Query Loop Block is intended to be used with the Index Template, rather than the Blog Posts Block.
Please let us know if you have any questions!

I just noticed that while it does show the latest posts, it no longer shows an option to expand the posts/query to show more after the prescribed amount (for example, the website displays 10 posts, and used to give an option to continue to read more). Do I need to add another block for that?

Hi there!
You can add pagination to your Query Loop block as per this support document: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/query-loop-block/#pagination-previous-post-and-next-post
This should resolve your issue. Let us know if you have more questions.

Thank you – when I click on the Post Template (per your guide), I don’t have the Block Settings options noted. I have only Layout Type and Number of Columns. Is there another way to get the Display Item As a Link or Arrows to show up as an option?

Hello there,
If you go to your list view and click on the Query Loop block, an option on the right sidebar will be the
block guide. Click here: https://d.pr/i/DM4VqCThen click on pagination and follow the explanation on how to add it to the block.

The instructions say this:
In the block settings in the right sidebar, you will find:- Display the title as a link: With this option enabled, the links will show the post title instead of the words “previous” and “next”. You can also write custom text by typing directly over the words “previous” and “next” in the editor.
- Arrow: Choose to include an arrow or chevron symbol with the pagination link.
I do not have those block settings. This is what I have:
