Linking to changing image file
-
I would like to add a block to my WordPress website that will grab the latest “East View” image. However, I can only seem to get a static version that will not change. I am able to do it with other pages, using the image block “Insert from URL” feature.
The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

You will probably need to search for a dynamic block if you want it to change without reloading the page. It would have to be able to connect using the REST api and would need to set a nonce to allow it to access the back end. Stackable builder has a dynamic post block but that all I could really see. You will probably need to look for a block are javascript in order for it to be dynamic.
The site you listed isn’t a WordPress site. You would either have to build a scraper or contact the blog owner api to allow you to query the site. You could query a wordpress site using this command site/wp-json/wp/v2/post to get a list of the post and post information. You could use a program like postman to aid you with this. But, if doesn’t support an api you would have to build a scraper and determine a method to figure out what the last post is.
