How to publish a roundup post

As of version 2.0, the Tasty Roundups block has been updated. If you would prefer to use the legacy block, you can find instructions for that here.

Using the Roundups Block

Start a new post and select the Tasty Roundups block.

Your first card block will be added to the post, along with a search bar that will enable you to retrieve your posts or fetch an external URL.

Adding an internal post

Tasty Roundups includes some fancy search functionality to quickly pull any existing posts from your site to your roundup with a single click.

Enter your post title in the search bar and select the relevant post from the dropdown to add it to your roundup. It's that simple!

When using the internal search, Tasty Roundups will pull in the post link, post title, post excerpt, and featured image from your post.

The post link is applied to both the image and the button in the roundup list item.

If you do not have a post excerpt set for your post, it will pull text from the first paragraph of your post to use as the item description.

Note: You can replace any of the content that is automatically pulled. Just select the content you want to replace and delete!

Adding an external post

To include an external post in your roundup, enter the link in the search bar and click “Add to Roundup.”

With the updated roundups, you may no longer need to manually add all of the roundup information.

Tasty Roundups will automatically retrieve the title, featured image, and part of the first paragraph. However, there may be times when Tasty Roundups cannot find this information, and you will need to customize it manually.

Adjusting the default Tasty Roundups Settings

When first setting up your Tasty Roundups settings, you may have selected an image placement that doesn't work for all of your posts. You can easily customize the layout of each item block in a post, using the block editor.

There are many ways to customize your roundups.

Column Layout

You can customize your roundups layout to include anywhere from 1 to 12 columns.

Image Customization

You can adjust both the shape and position of your images.

Button Styling

You can select from three button styles: Filled, Outline, or Link.

Display Content

You can disable any content you don’t want included in your roundups:

Numbers: Removes the numbering on your roundup posts, which typically starts from 1.

Image: Disables the featured image of your post.

Description: Hides the post description.

Button: Prevents users from navigating to the page via a button, allowing navigation only through the image.

Once you're done inserting and customizing all of your item cards, your post is ready to be published.

Using the Legacy Roundups Block

We recommend using the updated Tasty Roundups block for more customization options and better functionality.

However, if you would prefer, you can start a new post and select the Tasty Roundups (Legacy) block.

Your first card block will be inserted into the post, along with the options to pull internal and/or external posts.

Adding an internal post

Tasty Roundups include some fancy search functionality to quickly pull any existing posts from your site to your roundup with a single click.

Type your search in the search bar and select the +Add button next to the post you would like added to your roundup. Too easy!

When using the internal search, Tasty Roundups will pull in the post link, post title, and post excerpt from your post.

The post link is applied to both the image and the button in the roundup list item.

If you do not have a post excerpt set for your post, it will pull text from the first paragraph of your post to use as the item description.

Note: You can replace any of the content that is automatically pulled. Just select the content you want to replace and delete!

Adding an external post

Select the Add Post Manually button next to the search field.

You will need to manually upload or add the image, the title, description, and a link to the external post.

To add the link, select the item block and when the toolbar appears, select the link icon.

Adjusting the default Tasty Roundups Settings

Image alignment

When first setting up your Tasty Roundups settings, you may have selected an image placement that doesn't work for all of your posts. You can easily customize the layout of each item block in a post, using the block item toolbar.

Once you're done inserting all of your item cards, your post is ready to be published.

Legacy Roundups will be available only for a limited time. We recommend updating your roundups to the new block.
