Question

The title says it all. How how can I change the vertical grid spacing between two blocks in a tikzposter document?

Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. — Moriambar, Jun 19 '17 at 20:29

To change the default vertical spacing between blocks, use the class option blockverticalspace=<length>. To adjust the position of a single block, you can perhaps set bodyoffsety and titleoffsety in the \block options.

\documentclass[
  a2paper,
  blockverticalspace=5cm
  ]{tikzposter}
\begin{document}
\block{Abc}{Def}
\block{Foo}{Bar}
\block[
  bodyoffsety=3cm,
  titleoffsety=3cm
]{Bar}{Baz}
\end{document}

Excellent suggestion. A feature of tikzposter (as far as I can tell) is that a block is positioned immediately below the previous block, even if there's another block defined further up that is longer, with the result that blocks can overlap. \block[bodyoffsety=-5cm,titleoffsety=-5cm] with negative adjustment saved my day. – PatrickT Aug 03 '21 at 08:05
