MailPoet 5.36.1 adds a Latest posts block to the email editor, with per-post layout control, category and tag filtering, and the option to pick posts by hand. It also fixes background sending failing to resume after an update.
The block is aimed at anyone sending a content newsletter. You choose how each post appears — the layout is composable per post, so a lead story can be laid out differently from the items beneath it, rather than every post being forced into one repeating template. You can filter by category and tag to pull only the content that fits the audience, and you can select posts manually when you want to override what’s most recent. That covers the two ways people actually build these emails: automatic roundups, and a hand-picked selection.
How to get it
Update to MailPoet 5.36.1 in your WordPress dashboard. The Latest posts block is available in the email editor’s block inserter when you create or edit an email. If you’ve had a send stall around an update in the past, this release removes that cause.
