Posts element in a column?

    I’m trying to create a newsletter based on WordPress posts with excerpt and Read more links like what is quite common these days. BUT with in this case a narrow column to the left of the post elements containing the logo’s of our sponsors. So I entered a 1:2 column element and entered some logo’s in the left column. Into the right (‘2’) column I can drag all content elements like text an image but NOT ‘Posts’. Is this by design, or did I miss something?

    HI there @willemb2!

    It is true that posts – as well as products from WooCommerce – cannot be added to a column layout in your MailPoet template.

    It’s because our posts / products blocks are already built using columns, and embedded columns don’t play nicely together.

    More on that here:

    Perhaps your sponsor logos would work as a nice header or footer area, before the posts area?

    Thanks for your explanation, @lynnjat7 , I understand.

    We have 33 sponsors…

    Hi there @willemb2,

    That would make for a pretty big header area before you get into the good stuff of the newsletter, unfortunately! The columns idea was a good one but unfortunately will not work.

    I guess the best path forward here is to add the sponsors as a footer below your posts block. As this information would be repeated every time, I think it’s better to prioritize the new information (i.e. the latest posts block) at the top, and add your sponsor links below in as small a footprint as possible.

    Hope you can find a layout that works for you!
