Pretty sure this is a JetPack Social Icons problem…

The grid block has an option to set the number of words (characters?) for each post to be shown in the grid. Any chance you can have an option to show that number of words of the post Excerpt instead of the post? My client is diligently using Excerpts (and they work great for her FeedBurner emails) and the excerpt is a summary of her 2-3 topics in her posts so pulls in more readers than the first xxx characters of the post.

In the Post Grid settings you can select a category. I believe only one category or all.

Thanks you! Confirmed the fix on my site as well.

I’m really confused between Orbit Fox and Otter Blocks.

Until yesterday I only had Orbit Fox plugin and I used the Posts Grid block in Gutenberg under a tab called Orbit Fox. I did not have Otter Blocks until I installed it yesterday. I do have Elementor plugin activated also, but have now rewritten the Elementor pages to Gutenberg to simplify the site since Gutenberg works fine for my client’s application. Anyway, thanks for your help.

The Otter Blocks people have fixed the post author issue

Sorry if I am confusing this. I got a reply on the post author issue that confused me between Orbit Fox Gutenberg blocks and Otter Blocks. What I was using for Posts Grid was the Orbit Fox Gutenberg blocks Post grid. When that stopped working with WP 5.0 update, I noticed you have a separate Otter Blocks plugin and installed that and it worked fine.

Hmm. I added a separate Otter Blocks plug in and now it is working great. What I had before was just some part of Orbit Fox.

Aha – I didn’t notice that grid styling option icon. Thanks! Very nice to have these blocks for Gutenberg.

BTW, as long as you are fixing things, it would be nice to see a “read more” highlighted link too. And a multi-column grid option seeing as this widget is titled “grid”

Aha, thanks. When the Orbit Fox widgets showed up in Gutenberg, I re-wrote the page in Gutenberg blocks rather than use Elementor just to simplify the site. Posted on Otter blocks support. Thanks!

Well, I had changed the page author to the post author since they are all her posts, so they are one in the same. It could have been a theme conflict, but FYI I am using ThemeIsle Amadeus, with the Theme Isle Grid widget b;ock within the Gutenberg editor.
