Article Preview Block
Design control
Every preview, art-directed.
- Layout variations — choose how each preview is composed, per block
- Text, colour and gradient controls — native block supports, not a settings maze
- Image design options — and add your own image filters or other customisations via Block Styles
- Any post type — articles, products, events: if it’s a post, it can be previewed
Built for real publishing
Hand-picked or automatic.
- Pick any post — search and select the story each preview points to
- Or drop it in a Query Loop — previews render server-side for automatic listings with the same design control
- Preview posts from your other sites — pull articles from configured external WordPress sites into one front page
- Co-Authors Plus aware — multi-author bylines come through correctly
Proven in production
Refined in daily newsroom use.
The Article Preview Block grew up on our editorial clients’ sites — the most actively developed block we make. Its sibling User Card Block shares the same design system for author and profile pages.
