The Term News Block Embed is a block that can be placed on a page to display news of a selected News Category.

News by Category Block

The News by Category block is a custom block that displays news articles from a selected news category. The News by Category block relies on the Term News Block Embed module to provide functionality. The News by Category block can be placed as a custom PB block on a basic page, landing page, or by directly placing a Term News Block Embed block in a region.

News by Category blocks have three layout display styles to choose from: full width list with thumbnail images, 3 cards or 4 cards.
