Questions the author answers
Template, placeholder and post detail
Here You can control the Post Detail parts, which appears as part of the post item. All post detail will placed as placeholder. The text in the Template area can be a post details placeholder, plain text, HTML or HTML for SVG icons.
How it works? and examples.
For more layout options please try our premium block: Term and Category based Posts Block.
Use SVG icons
For SVG font-icon HTML we recommend the WordPress Dashicons, which are included as default and can be used without any font-icon including.
The font-size is different from that of other blocks or Theme elements?
Use the option: ‘Disable only font style’ in the General panel.
I want the title as a link pointing to the selected Categorie page?
Is just a single category selected in the Filter panel: Enable the check box “Make block title link”.
Is ‘All categories’ selected in the Filter panel: Use the text field ‘Title link URL’.

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin. The author takes donations at their donate page.
