Created a custom loop ( **The Loop** ) and added the **Block Inner Content** that sits under **The loop items container**. It will loop through the number of pages (or posts) but will not allow the child blocks to use the loop data. When I put the Gutenberg default Post Title or any of my own custom created blocks (eg a block using get\_the\_title(), Post Title, Page Title, the title etc) it pulls the viewed pages data and not the loop data.

Running a child block with php code var\_dump($loop\_query) returns variable undefined. $loop\_query being the query name I set in **The Loop**.

I can of course set a hard-coded title and access the loop data outside of the Block Inner Content system.

Ideally I am trying to make a more powerful loop block than the default one provided by WordPress.

Thoughts?

@ThatWebsiteIsMe I don’t think this can work. The loop context and Block Inner Content are two separate worlds in WP.

That’s a shame - this would allow for some clever dynamic content query loops. In that case, I might look at how to learn [extending the Query Loop block](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/how-to-guides/block-tutorial/extending-the-query-loop-block/).
