Tell us what you are trying to do?
i want to make a list (loop) of posts based on their type without using the toolset view tool which is described as beeing for older sites.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Hi there

You still use Views to create lists or grids of posts.

To be clear, the plugin for this was originally called Views.

Similar functionality is now provided by the plugin Blocks, using the Gutenberg block editor to create Views (rather than the old shortcode-based UI).

Please see this documentation page for details on how to create a View, using the Blocks plugin: https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-view/
