 * Hello, I have made a shortcode to show POST ID – it works inside a post, but 
   when I use the same shortcode inside a Query Loop Block, I am getting the same
   result on all posts in that query.

 * **Code for ShortCode**
 *     ```wp-block-code
       function getPostID() {
       	return get_the_ID();
       }
       add_shortcode( 'getPostID', 'getPostID' );
       ```
