How to Add Photo Block to the Query Loop
Use Photo Block in a query loop for dynamic images
The Photo Block works well in the default query loop and acts as a featured image.
Let's begin by showing you how to insert a query loop and changing the image to the Photo Block.
Compatibility
The Photo Block is compatible with the query loops of the following blocks:
core/query
generateblocks/query-loop
kadence/query
Add the Query Loop Block to a Post
Insert the Query Loop into a post using a "/" (Slash) command: /query loop
Choose "Start Blank" and insert the option with an image.
Select the Image in the Block Editor
Select the image in the block editor. If the image is selected correctly, you'll see the block type as a featured image.
Use the Toolbar to Transform the Image to the Photo Block
Using the Toolbar, click the Transform option to convert the image to the Photo Block.
From there, you can select "Photo Block," and the featured image will be changed over.
Alternate Method: Insert the Photo Block Manually
If there is no image in the query loop, you can add one manually. You'd insert a new block and add a Photo Block. The block is smart enough to recognize it's in a query loop and will render immediately.
Conclusion
You now know how to add Photo Block to a query loop.
