Gutenberg Feed Block for WordPress – Ingestics
Gutenberg Block
Ingestics includes a native Gutenberg block for displaying imported posts directly in the WordPress block editor. Insert the block into any post or page, configure it through the block settings sidebar, and your imported content renders inline – no shortcode required.
Display Modes
The block supports three display modes, each suited to different content layouts:
- Grid: Posts arranged in a responsive grid with configurable columns. Ideal for visual content with featured images.
- Carousel: Posts displayed in a sliding carousel with navigation controls. Great for showcasing a limited number of posts in a compact space.
- Ticker: Posts displayed as a horizontal scrolling ticker. Perfect for news headlines or updates in a header or sidebar area.
Server-Side Rendering
The block is server-side rendered, meaning the HTML is generated on the server when the page loads. This ensures that search engines see the full content, there are no JavaScript hydration delays, and the block works without any client-side JavaScript dependencies. The rendered output is cached by WordPress’s page cache for optimal performance.

Twig Template Support (Business Tier)
On the Business tier, the Gutenberg block supports custom Twig templates for rendering posts.

This is in addition to the built-in grid, carousel, and ticker modes, which use default templates.
