    I’d like to create a custom post template that alters the layout of posts. Can this be accomplished through blocks, or do I need to edit the .php code?

    If you use the Gutenberg plugin, and set the experimental flag, you can start to use the Full Site Editing stuff begin developed, which includes editing templates and template parts in the block editor (changing layout). But you need a theme that supplies the base to work with. I think there are some at GitHub that some folks are working on.

    Otherwise, you can create a child theme and copy the template files from the parent to rearrange things in PHP code.

    Keep in mind that from a template perspective, the post content is one “block” or chunk of HTML, among others like header, footer, sidebar.
