Showing post content dynamically

How To
1

Hi,

I am new to Bricks and have a question I was hoping someone could answer.

When building an archive template to show posts as a blog page, does {post_content} only return content from posts built with the WordPress editor?

I have a couple of posts built with Bricks, and the Post titles and featured images are dynamically returned without problem. Is there a way to create posts with Bricks and have the post content returned dynamically? Or will I need to create posts with the WordPress editor to return content dynamically and then use another Bricks template for styling the posts

Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,
Welcome to the forum!

{post_content} returns the Gutenberg content by default, see: Dynamic Data – Bricks Academy

However, using the post content element instead of the dynamic data tag, you can choose the source (WordPress or Bricks). If your source varies, adding two post content elements to cover both sources is okay.

Ps: You usually won’t use the post content in an archive template but in a single one, since it returns the full post content.
