Category Filter Broken

Hi there,

The category filter on my homepage blog appears to be broken with random articles showing where they shouldn’t – https://gaminglyf.com/

When chosing ‘Opinion Piece’ for example a whole bunch of other articles show, despite there only being 1 Opinion Piece article on the site currently.

Filter by ‘Switch’ and articles duplicate in the list and articles such as “PUBG Mobile is live on Android and iOS” appear despite not being a part of this category. Same goes for most categories – there’s articles which shouldn’t be there etc.

What’s going on?

Hi,

From what I can see there seem to be two block 11 in that section
https://www.screencast.com/t/wnxXw8GEl
The first one seems to be limited to show one post, but when using the ajax filter it affects the below block as well.
I would suggest as a quick test to deactivate all plugins except theme plugins and clear all caching. Check if the blocks have proper functionality. If you made any code modifications to the theme files directly or through a child theme, temporarily remove them.

Thanks

Thanks Simion, that’s what was causing it!

When testing ad placements we tried having 2 blocks of latest news with an advert slotted inbetween the two. I’m assuming this can’t be done without causing issues like the above?

Cheers,

You can use ad boxes on pages, in any position possible. An ad box will should not cause issues with the blocks. So an ad box placed between two blocks should not create issues with the block filtering. An ad box is the only element that can be used to display ads on pages, provided by the composer.

Thanks
