  I feel like I am going nowhere when I try to use the Post Content Block! I keep getting the message ‘Block cannot be rendered in itself’. Is it trying to display the content for my current post/page??

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,

  Can you provide a link to the post/page being worked on please?

  We’ll take a look and try and retrace some steps. Many thanks in advance.

  This happens on any page or post, new or old. I recently tried to add it to a page, “More to Read:” and gave up when it was unrenderable.
  Is it possible for the template to be having issues related to this block?

  Hi there,

  The post content block is intended for direct editing of your theme’s templates (if you have a supported theme) but is not a block that you would use directly in your blog post itself. Can you tell us a bit more about what you are trying to use this block to set up? You are trying to display a list (or feed) of specific blog posts on your “More to Read” page?

  We’d be happy to show you another way to do that once we understand a bit better, thanks.
