Creating a custom Feed
Enable the Feeds feature in Site Settings, go to Feeds tab, and create a custom CMS Feed. Add the fields you need or use ready-made field sets.
In the "Create Feed" pop-up window: the "Custom (CMS)" option under "FEED TYPE" and the "Next" button at the bottom.
Adding a block to the page
Open the Block Library and select any block.

For example, block names may include hints about the type of content their design suits best: team, portfolio, real estate, news, jobs, menu, services, or reviews.
Block Library: "Feeds and CMS" in the left menu and the FD500 "Feed: Team Grid" block.
Editing card fields
To configure how the block is displayed, click Content.
In block FD500: the "Content" button on the block control panel.
By default, the Feed sample using the current prepared design is selected in the block. To replace the Feed, click its title.
Block Content panel: the "SHOW FEED" dropdown list to select a feed.
In the dropdown menu, select a Feed or Feed category. If you select the "Not set" value, the block's state will be displayed as empty.
Block Content panel: selecting a custom feed, highlighted in orange, from the drop-down list of feeds.
To quickly switch to editing the selected Feed, click the pencil icon.
Block Content panel: the edit icon next to the "SHOW FEED" dropdown list.
Open the Cards tab and click Add new item. This allows you to add the fields of the post from the current Feed.
Block Settings: the "Save and close" button in the top bar and the "ADD NEW ITEM" button under the "CARDS" section.
Two settings are available for a new item: field and display style. You can select a system field or any other field available for the Feed, then choose a suitable style for it. Fields can also be duplicated, deleted, and hidden.
In the block Content panel: the "Select a field" and "Select a style" dropdown lists above the "ADD NEW ITEM" button.
For example, the following styles are available for the Title field: title, description, subtitle, upper title, tag, date, price, old price, and image label.
Feed block settings: "Title" selected in the "Select a field" dropdown list and the "Save and close" button at the top.
Block Content panel: selecting "Subtitle" from the dropdown list for an element field.
For the Image field, only the Image style is available.
Content panel, "Cards" section: "Image" selected in the "Style" drop-down menu for the "Thumbnail" field.
If you need to display media content in the block—for example, when different preview types are used for different posts, such as image, gallery, or video—select the "Media (image, gallery, video)" style for the Media field.
In the block settings panel under "CARDS": the "Media (image, gallery, video)" option selected in the "STYLE" dropdown for "Media".
If you select the "Label on image" style for any field, the field value will be displayed over the image.
In the custom feed settings: the "Label on image" option in the "Style" dropdown for the "Creation date" field, showing the date displayed over the card image on the right.
Some text fields and buttons can be combined into groups. For example, in the image below, the Title and Description fields are grouped. In the published version, the grouped fields are separated by a divider. You can change its style in the block settings.
If the Group icon is not displayed between two fields, these fields cannot be combined.
If two buttons are added next to each other, they are combined automatically.
Custom Feed settings: the "Creation date" field row, the combined "Title" and "Description" fields row, and their live preview in the feed card.
You can have your own link displayed as a button in the post card as well. You can set custom button text and select an icon. The button text from any text field can be used as well.

You can set a link from a field for the entire card. Then, when clicking the card, you will open the link specified in the custom post field.

By default, clicking a card opens the post page. If you select Not set, the post will be available via a button link only, if you have added it before.
Feed block Content panel: the added item settings with "Website", "Button", and "Custom button label" fields, and the "CARD LINK" section below.
To change the fields' design, go to the block Settings and open the Cards tab. In the list, select the field display style you want to customize.
Block Settings panel: the "CARDS" section opened, showing styling settings for card elements next to the Feed block preview.
Editing the detailed page
For custom Feeds, the FD500 block and its variations allow you to configure how the detailed post page is displayed.

To do this, go to block Content, open the Post page tab, and click Add new item.
Block Content panel: the "ADD NEW ITEM" button under the "POST PAGE" tab.
Fields are added to the detailed page just like they are added to the card: select a field and its display style. You can change the order of fields, combine fields of similar types, duplicate, hide, and delete items.
Feed block Content panel: the "Select a field" and "Select a style" dropdowns under the "POST PAGE" section, above the "ADD NEW ITEM" button.
For example, this is what the sample post will look like.

You can also customize the design of detailed page fields. To do this, go to the block Settings, open the Post page tab, select the style you need from the list, and edit its settings.
Block Settings panel: the "POST PAGE" tab and its customization options for post content elements.
Editing the block header
In the block Content, you can set a general title and description, as well as dynamically insert values from the category settings.
In the "Block Header" section of the feed block settings: the "Use title and description from the category settings" checkbox.
If the category title and short description are filled in, enabling the "Use title and description from the category settings" option will display them in the block header.
A published page with a Feed block: the feed title and subtitle displayed above the category filter and post cards.
If only the category title is filled in, only the title will be displayed in the header.
The published page with a Feed block: the category title above the category filters and post cards.
To configure categories' display, go to the block Settings and open Categories settings. Here, you can disable categories' visibility or change their design. By default, categories are always displayed in the block.
Editing the button at the bottom of the block
To edit the "Show more" button, open the Buttons under the block tab, and in the field with the corresponding name, enter the button text. Once you have done that, the button will be displayed in the Feed.

You can also add another button that links to any specified page. For example, it can lead to a page with all blog posts or to an author's page.
If pagination is enabled in the block settings, the button with the text is displayed by default. If you enter a button title in the block content, this text will be displayed on the page.
Feed block Content panel: the "“SHOW MORE” BUTTON" section and the "“ALL POSTS” BUTTON" and "“ALL POSTS” BUTTON LINK" fields in "BUTTONS UNDER THE BLOCK".
Field conflict when switching Feeds
If the Conflict (Not found) error appears in card content after switching Feeds, it means the linked Feed does not contain the fields that were previously displayed for another Feed.
The "Conflict (Not found)" warning in the "FIELD" column under "POST PAGE" in the block settings panel.
To fix the error, delete the field and add a new one, or select a similar field from the list and choose the appropriate display style.
If the new Feed has a matching field, no conflict will occur. The values will be displayed in the post card in the tiles immediately.
In block Content under "CARDS": the field mapping rows for "Tags", "Title", and "Post link" with "Custom button label".
