Add or edit a Query Loop block. 2. From the block settings panel, locate the “post” dropdown. 3. Select the desired post(s) from the dropdown. 4. Save or update your post/page, and view the changes on the front end. Note: When you’re specifically selecting posts using this plugin, the posts order is overriden to match the order of posts selected via the dropdown. ## Screenshots * [[ * Plugin banner. * [[ * You can search posts with their titls. * [[ * The Query Loop Post Selector plugin persists the post orders. * [[ * Respects the “Items Per Page” limit from the parent query. ## Installation 1.

So strange this function is not part of the native loop block. Thanks ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5a40408a4cdbcd52ebe9529d5cd5b391dd489c541c2a7be1104e7b05a68704eb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-13362/)󠁿 [tamnik](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tamnik/) April 15, 2024 You can replace many other freemium post-grip plugins with this one. It gives the feature to default query loop to select a post by title. Hope this plugin will be around for many more years. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b7a012092ab8958977998298ca9567475f87efbaf0ad57256943390ca05812c3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A must-have block!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-must-have-block/)󠁿 [Aurélien Denis](https://profiles.wordpress.org/maigret/) December 30, 2023 If you need to query juste one post inside a block query, this plugin is for you! A must-have that should be native!
