A scannable selection of recent tutorials. Learn when to use Post List, follow a practical setup, and diagnose common problems.

2 min read · Updated 30 September 2026

Practice recipe based on public documentation; the Breakdance extension is not installed here.

What it does and when to use it

Shows a collection of WordPress posts. Use it for the specific job described below. If a simpler native element can deliver the same outcome, prefer the simpler structure and fewer competing styles.

Before you start

This is a Breakdance catalogue recipe for use with a compatible Breakdance Elements for Oxygen extension. It is not a guarantee of availability in your version. Check the installed element list and official reference before following the steps. Exact control labels can differ; this recipe has not been executed on this site.

Worked example: A scannable selection of recent tutorials

Scenario: A scannable selection of recent tutorials. The goal is a useful result on a real project, not a claim that this scenario was a completed client project.

  1. Choose the intended post type and category before configuring the list.
  2. Show a title, concise excerpt and genuine permalink for each result.
  3. Limit the first view and provide a way to reach older posts.

Expected result

You should have a scannable selection of recent tutorials. Verify the result on the frontend using the same content or object described in the steps. A correct builder preview alone does not establish that links, data or interactions work for visitors.

Troubleshooting

If results look unrelated, inspect taxonomy assignments and query settings. A post list displays separate posts; a repeater displays rows stored on one object.

Checks before publishing

Use real text and assets rather than a perfect placeholder. Check a long label, narrow screen and empty-data state before publishing.

  • Compare desktop and narrow-screen layouts using actual content.
  • Follow every destination and operate interactive controls with a keyboard where applicable.
  • Check an empty or unavailable-data state when the element depends on a provider.

Official reference and version notes

Official Post List reference provides the current provider information. This is independent, AI-assisted documentation on Benjamin Olsen’s website; examples are clearly identified as practice recipes.

Check extension element visibility in Oxygen. An element may be hidden where a native equivalent exists.
