Custom Query Blocks
A WordPress plugin for displaying posts and terms (e.g., categories) using a Gutenberg block. Works well with posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies, and terms.
Bonus: archive mapping.
Note: (2021-07-28) The blocks are deprecated as there are better custom query items and the new Query block in WordPress 5.8. Thank you for trying us out.
