Show recent posts automatically on a page

The Latest Posts block creates a list that updates automatically when new posts are published.

Open a page, type /latest posts, and select the matching block.

Choose a list or grid layout based on page width and the number of posts.

Limit the item count so a home page does not become excessively long.

Enable featured images, dates, or excerpts in the block settings when useful.

If images are enabled, select a size that keeps all cards visually consistent.

Use the category filter to show only posts relevant to that section.

Publish a test post and confirm it appears without editing the page.

Check mobile view so titles and images stay inside their cards.

Return the test post to draft and confirm it disappears from the public list.
