AE - Post Blocks

AE - Post Blocks widget gives you almost complete freedom on how your post list or grid can look.

In the Post Block widget, you can design the layout (Block Template) of individual post items in the AE Template, and that layout will be used for all post items rendered using this widget.

In designing Block Template, you can use other available widgets to show post data.

If you have used the Post widget of "Elementor Pro," then you will find it very much similar. The only but major difference is that there are not many designing options available to alter the design of post items. The layout of individual post item will be controlled from AE Template (See how to create Block Layout to use in Post Blocks widget)

Once you have AnyWhere Elementor Pro installed and Activated, you will see a bunch of new widgets in Elementor's widget panel. "AE Post Blocks" will be one of them. Drag it wherever you want to show it.

Get more control and functionality on using the Post Block using the AE - Post Blocks Adv widget.
