If you need more customization, the [Query Loop block](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/query-loop-block/) may be worth a look. It is an advanced block that allows you to display posts based on specified parameters. You can think of it as a more complex and powerful [Latest Posts Block](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/latest-posts-block/). See the [Query Loop block documentation](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/query-loop-block/) for more. - This reply was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by [Mahangu Weerasinghe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lastnode/).

The original image you uploaded is not modified automatically. * When selecting a featured image for your post, you can select the original/large image you uploaded to the Media Library. When setting the featured image for a post, look under `Attachment Details` on the right and it will show the details of the image: * ```wp-block-code your_image_name.jpgJuly 18, 20248 MB4702 by 2821 pixels ``` * ^ It should **not** say `400 by 200 pixels` here. There should be a higher number as the image you want to set is the original one with the higher resolution. Look for the variant of your image with the higher resolution and insert that instead. * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Redirect to All Custom post types](https://wordpress.org/support/?post_type=topic&p=17891880) * [Mahangu Weerasinghe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lastnode/) * (@lastnode) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/?post_type=topic&p=17891880#post-17895399) * OK, if that’s the code you want to redirect after, have you tried adding the [wp_redirect()](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_redirect/) function just after the `foreach` loop? * ```wp-block-code foreach ( $fields as $field_name => $flag ) { if ( !empty( $field = filter_input( INPUT_POST, $field_name, $flag )) ) { update_post_meta( $post_id, $field_name, sanitize_text_field( $field ) ); } else { delete_post_meta( $post_id, $field_name ); } }// Redirect to the the custom post type edit pagewp_redirect( admin_url( 'edit.php?post_type=your_custom_post_type' ) );exit; ``` * Of course, you will need to replace **`your_custom_post_type`** above with the name/slug of your custom post type. * If you continue to have issues with this, could you please [enable debugging in WordPress](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/) and send over the latest error log entries you see? - This reply was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by [Mahangu Weerasinghe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lastnode/).

For the first two posts you created (the last two posts on the front page right now), the thumbnail images you have used are – * 1) [https://knewsgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/newjeans-1.jpg](https://knewsgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/newjeans-1.jpg) * 2) [https://knewsgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/bts-quiz-pic-1.jpg](https://knewsgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/bts-quiz-pic-1.jpg) * The two posts after that use these two images: * 3) [https://knewsgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/bts_jin_military_4_1244x700-400×200.jpeg](https://knewsgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/bts_jin_military_4_1244x700-400x200.jpeg) * 4) [https://knewsgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/seventeen-unesco-400×200.jpg](https://knewsgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/seventeen-unesco-400x200.jpg) * If you click on these 4 files and view them individually, you will see that # 1 and #2 are much higher resolution (i.e the image is larger) than the `400x200` pixel thumbnail images you are using for #3 and #3. Thus, when the larger images are scaled down for your frontpage, they look better / less blurry / higher quality. * If you edit the later posts to use larger variants of those images as featured images, their quality on the frontpage will improve as well. - This reply was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by [Mahangu Weerasinghe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lastnode/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by [Mahangu Weerasinghe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lastnode/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by [Mahangu Weerasinghe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lastnode/). * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Issues with Block-based Widgets](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-block-based-widgets/) * [Mahangu Weerasinghe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lastnode/) * (@lastnode) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-block-based-widgets/#post-17895057) * > About [the Latest Posts block](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/latest-posts-block/) > widget, should I install it as a plugin? * The Latest Posts block comes with the [WordPress Block Editor](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-block-editor/) and the [WordPress Site Editor](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-editor/).

If a theme doesn’t appear under [Block themes](https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/full-site-editing/) in the [WordPress theme directory](https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/full-site-editing/), then it is not a block theme and is not compatible with the [WordPress Site Editor](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-editor/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by [Mahangu Weerasinghe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lastnode/).
