Hello,
Hope you’re having a good day. I have blocks 7 and 8 on my Home page but cannot get the Unique Article feature to work on the page.
When I turn on Unique Articles, block 7 is showing articles and block 8 shows none. I have 12 published articles right now and both blocks are set to All Categories, Random Posts, No filters. Block 7 is set for 7 articles and block 8 is set for 9, so it seems that I should be getting 7 unique articles in block 7 and 5 in block 8.
What am I missing? Hope you can help me find the solution.
Philip
hi,
I did exactly what you said :
page with : http://screencast.com/t/Jvi7dIo8
– block 7 (All Categories, Random Posts, 7 articles): http://screencast.com/t/HtrFwN70I
– block 8 (All Categories, Random Posts, 9 articles): http://screencast.com/t/Q2WsDkUNvVX
result:
1) http://screencast.com/t/AlgV0z4KJ
2) http://screencast.com/t/g3NN7q3CN8wN
3) http://screencast.com/t/4mLE0qXpYEAN
4) http://screencast.com/t/uftghGVm
worked like a charm,
please try to disable the plugins, so no conflicts may occur.
Thanks for you message.

Thanks for your help Radu, but I disabled everything (except Bakery) and result was the same. Don’t know if it’s because I have arranged the blocks in vertical columns next to each other in the same row or if there is something else going on.
I am using the Blank Homepage Template.
I even put a different block in there and cleared all my caches.
For now I am using a workaround (Random Posts in one block and Most popular in another so that both blocks load content.
Let me know if you have any other ideas that may help to fix this since I would still like to use the Unique Article Feature if possible.

Hi,
I have tested once again this just like you said using just 12 articles, got the exact the expected result, 7 articles in block 7 and 5 in block 8 using the unique articles feature and theme’s last version 4.1.
This time I have used the blocks and the Homepage-blank template like this: http://screencast.com/t/JHT7iRaRc1oi
Result: http://screencast.com/t/ZlWzKkBmEgQ
Should work fine, try to update your theme and make sure you don’t use any other block or slider on your page that could use the posts, in that case the posts appear there and not in the block when using the unique article feature.
Thanks
Thanks Lucian,
The problem I have been experiencing is that I am using other blocks on the Home Page in addition to those two blocks.
After your explanation, I now realize that the Unique Article feature will not work as long as I continue to use these other blocks on my Home Page.
Thanks for the clarification.
