"Load More" loading the same posts

[Jackcoldrick]

Hi guys,

working on the front page of a site and I have following block of code:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[blog show_blog_aux="no" blog_type="standard" masonry_effect_type="effect-2" item_count="5" category="All" offset="0" posts_order="DESC" show_title="yes" show_excerpt="yes" show_details="yes" excerpt_length="20" content_output="excerpt" show_read_more="yes" pagination="load-more" width="1/1" el_position="first last"]')?>                            

Which I am using to generate a list of blog posts in a similar way that you can do this using the SPB by adding a Blog element. However when I click on the “Load More” button to show more posts I get the same 5 posts being added to the list… I don’t know why this is happening.

Can you suggest a possible cause for this?

Thanks,
– J

@Jackcoldrick is there a need to use do_shortcode ? Can you not add the shortcode to the WP Editor?

Also you are missing a closing ; Here )?> it should be ); ?>.

– Is that shortcode custom made or powered by a 3rd party plugin.

Thanks.

Hey Dave,

I am custom building a front page so I wanted to use the short code provided by the SPB. One of your colleagues on a previous thread suggested I use do_shortcode() to achieve this.

could you point me to the location of the code which handles the AJAX request for the new posts when the load more button is clicked and I can investigate further on my end as I understand this issue is most likely outside of the level of support you can offer customers.

Thanks,
Jack

Any Update on this dave???

I’m trying to find the code that is executed when below shortcode is run:

[blog show_blog_aux=”no” blog_type=”standard” masonry_effect_type=”effect-1″ item_count=”5″ category=”All” offset=”0″ posts_order=”DESC” show_title=”yes” show_excerpt=”yes” show_details=”yes” excerpt_length=”20″ content_output=”excerpt” show_read_more=”yes” pagination=”load-more” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]

Thanks,
J

I’ve done a bit of research across the support forumn these people seem to be having the exact same issue as me:

Blog pagination problems since last updates

BLOG MASONRY POSTS REPEATED

Is there anything I can do to resolve this!!

The issue came from the WordPress update, it’s a permalink issue. We suggest having the button to take them to the blog page to view more posts
