Kadence - Setting up Posts blocks
After installing your theme, there may be blog post sections on your site where you'll need to go in and select the posts/categories you'd like to display in those sections. You may see a "No Posts" message in these sections, which just indicates that you haven't selected the posts you'd like to display yet. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to easily set up Posts blocks!
Please note that in most cases, this should be done after you have your own content published and categories set up! If you set up Posts blocks using the demo content, you'll need to do it with your own content later. Generally, once Posts blocks are set up with your content, they don't need to be fiddled with again! Posts will update in these sections automatically as you publish more content.
Setting up Posts blocks
1. In your WordPress dashboard, head to Pages > All Pages and click "Edit" on the page you'd like to work on.
2. Select a Posts block. On the right, you'll see a settings panel appear for the Posts block, which looks like this:
3. This panel is where you'll select the parameters by which posts display. You can set the block to display posts from a certain category (or multiple categories) or a certain tag. Posts can be displayed randomly, by publish date, by when they were last modified, and so on. The Posts block gives you lots of options!
If you remove all categories and tags from "Filter by Category" and "Filter by Tag" – all of your posts will display. On the Category Index page, you generally want to select a category for each area, since that is the purpose of the Category Index page! On the homepage, you may want to display all posts for a "Latest Posts" section, or you could select certain categories or tags.
4. If you'd like to display specific posts in a Posts block (rather than just categories), check out our tutorial HERE.

The "No Posts" message indicates that you haven't yet selected the posts and/or categories you'd like to display within a particular Posts block. Follow the instructions above, or watch the video below, and you'll be good to go!
