In June 2023 we updated the version of WordPress and included 2 new themes: Twenty Twenty-two and Twenty Twenty-three. These are themes that support Site Editing. This means these themes are a lot more customisable than standard WordPress themes.

The Display Posts Shortcode allows users to easily display listings of posts. This allows you to create sets of navigation links on your site easily. Note: the Make theme has a similar function built into its page builder template. With the blocks editor you can use the Query Loop block. Display Posts Shortcode can be more flexible but more complex to style than these other options..<\/p>\n
