Inline Content

Hi,

I need to create some posts like “4 Greatest…”,”Top 5 Things…”, etc.

So I want to insert a block in my post. The block would show fx. 4 posts inline horizontal: A small image, the post headline and a small excerpt for each of the 4 posts. And when you then click on them, you are taken to that post – when has already been written and published on my site.

But how do I do that?

I am using a cloud template and Composer.
I have tried with short code, but that only show the code as text.

Hope you understand what I am trying to do.

Cheers,

Hi,

If you are using a shortcode please set it in a column text or text with title element in code/text zone – https://imgur.com/DSSni9j

Also, if you want to set blocks with articles inline inside your post content you can check this guide: How to insert a block inside the content of a post

Thank you!

But from what I understand and can see, this is done on a template level. I would have to change my cloud template, right?

What about all the posts where I don’t want to have inline blocks/content then?
Will it not look wrong then?

Is there not a way to add a block to a post, just like I add an image or table?

Hi,

If you want to have this inline blocks/content then you can duplicate the single post template and set on the duplicate the inline blocks/content and this will be manually set per articles were you want to use it.

If you want you can also past the shortcode code directly in a post and us ethe shortcode or text mode.

Thank you!

Well, that is what’s not working!

I would rather use the shortcode option. But when I paste it into a post, it only show the code as text – it does not render the code to a block.

Absolute brilliant!
I am honestly not sure what I did wrong before, because it is very straight forward.

Anyways – it’s working!

Thank you so much. I appreciate your help!
