People, Places and Items (PPI) are a custom post type. To use this block, you’ll need to have created at least one PPI post first.
- Add the PPI: Individual block to the page.
- Select People, Places or Items from the Select a Post Type dropdown in the right settings panel.
- Search for a specific person, place or item by clicking into the Select a Post field (or choose from the dropdown). As long as you have created and published the person, place or item, it will appear in this list, based on which post type you selected.
- Your selection will appear in the PPI: Individual block.
