The WordPress Query Loop Block is a powerful block, enabling authors to curate blog content with fine-grained control over the layout. However, it’s often a requirement that site editors want to pick the specific posts that appear in these content grids and lists. This WordPress plugin adds a block variation of the Query Loop which provides a content picker, allowing editors to choose the exact posts they want to display, while still leveraging the power of the layout control which comes with the Query Loop Block.

It does what I need, just 1 thing, no bloat. Let's me pick exact pages to show in the query loop.


Lightweight, Thank You
