What is a Post Excerpt Block?

The Post Excerpt Block can be added to show excerpts on posts, where they are displayed via a Query Block.

How it Works

The excerpt is configured on the post itself. You can choose where it appears in relation to other blocks you’ve added in the Post Template, such as the Post Title, Post Date, or Post Terms.

Block Settings

You can customize the Post Excerpt Block using Style and other settings options, giving you great flexibility in how you tailor elements to your design.

Styles Tab

Color Settings

Color settings let you customize the color of the text in the Post Excerpt Block.

Text Style

This setting allows you to style the text using the styles you’ve set in Global Styles > Typography.

Spacing Settings

These settings govern the spacing within your Post Excerpt Block.

Padding Bottom Override

The styles set for each paragraph and heading level include a default padding setting for space underneath the text in the Global Styles > Typography area. To override that default setting with a custom value, ie. to add more or less space beneath the text, use this field.
