Latest Posts Block with More block
-
Hi,
My blogs will contain many media text blocks one after the other.I would like to have a page where there is some text at the top and then the blog pages are displayed underneath the text in chronological order.
Ideally, I would like only the top few media text blocks on each blog to display so I have inserted a more tag after the first couple of media text blocks. However, the Latest Posts block ignores the More block and displays all the media text blocks on each blog page which is going to get unwieldy.
I have also tried with the display posts shortcode and it did the same. Is there a way of achieving this?
Many thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
Many thanks for reaching out.
It’s possible to media and text blocks on a static front page, with a Blog Post Block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/blog-posts-block/
Would this be of interest?
Do you have an example of what you’re looking to achieve please?
Many thanks in advance.

Thank you for trying to help.
If you could take a look at my page here where I have tried various options, I will try to explain.https://stpetersmarkets.wordpress.com/plant-sales/
The list of plants with images before the double separator is a Latest Blog Posts block.
After the double separator is the Blog Posts block.Neither of them seem to display my posts how I was hoping.
Ideally, I would like the first 2 or 3 media-text blocks per post to display – not all of them. It could be that a post will have 50 of these media-text blocks and I’d only like the first few to display – as per the blog archive page https://stpetersmarkets.wordpress.com/blog/ but with this I can’t add text at the top of the blogs or other page elements.
I added a More block but it doesn’t make any difference.
If I use the Blog Posts block, you will see none of the images are displayed at all. I tried on the front page of my blog to see if it worked on the front page but I can’t get the media-text block to display nicely at all on there either :(.
What I’d like may not be possible but I thought I’d ask!
Thank you so much.

Ah, I understand. While there are some settings to extend these blocks:
