    Using block editor and twenty twenty-four theme how to configure the Page where all the blog Posts appear, so that it is more than a list of titles of the Posts? In previous themes, the Page where all the blog Posts appear would show an image and some text from the posts. That is what I want, but I cannot figure out how to modify the Page’s template to allow images using the block editor. I found a previous question about this, “solved” by using the customizer, which is no longer available. Am I doomed to an ugly, useless blog/posts Page of nothing but post titles? Or is a way to fix this?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • In your “Posts” page, insert the “Posts List” block. It creates a query loop of the posts. You can choose from a wide range of patterns provided by the theme or start blank.

    @jpgoem thank you, I found the Posts Lists block and added it to the page. It looks absolutely awful, with zero margin around the edges. I found a way in the sidebar that seems to allow for ‘justification’ to create a reasonable margin, but in reality all it does is make nothing appear on the Page. (It says, “Nested blocks use content width with options for full and wide widths.
    Customize the width for all elements that are assigned to the center or wide columns.” I am not sure what it means.) It looks like, to create a margin, the Posts Lists Block is put inside another block. Why won’t the Posts Lists block work if there is a margin?

    I changed to a different theme and all the posts show. So it is something to do with the twenty twenty-four theme.

    Nothing I can figure out will make it work. I have reverted to twenty twenty-three theme. I will mark this solved, since the solution apparently is, don’t use the Twenty Twenty-Four Theme.

    I thought the idea of the block editor was to make WordPress easier for the average user, but with the Twenty Twenty-Four Theme it has become so complex as to be useless. ?? The solution is not to use it.
