Quick summary

2. Ensure the site has published blog posts.
3. Ensure there is an empty "Blog" page.

While testing this, I was able to display the Query Loop block on the Blog Posts page, but I find the posts page assign weird, so I asked here to confirm the behavior.

@devNigel could you let me know if the issue is still happening on your end? If yes, please share a site example so we could take another look.
