I think there is a time limit on how posts are shown in a block no matter the filter you have. What I am saying is on my site I have a category music and on block of any set for this category and has happened many times. I set it up with random posts and filter the music category and ajax filter categories and preload and pagination prev and next.
It works fine if you post something and I have over 30+ posts in the category and set the limit of posts to 6 but if you do not post, lets say for like a month straight, it all of a sudden, instead of 6 posts to show it shows like 2 or 3 out of the 6. I could not figure out why it was only showing 2 or 3 but as soon as I made a new post in that category it was showing the 6 posts again.
Is there a way you can make no time limit on posts in the blocks? Sometimes I don’t give to many reviews on metal music all the time. The site focus is horror movies and music reviews is too but it is only a side project for reviews if I run out of other things to review or feel like reviewing music albums then I will add one but to just stop showing the posts in a block because of not adding a new post in the category makes no sense to me.
It should just continue to randomly show posts no matter if you don’t add a new one or no matter how long it has been. Just a thought but I can handle adding a new post to it. I just procrastinate some times and I feel like man. Why do I need to add another one here for? Everyone procrastinates sometime.
Hi
The theme doesn’t control which posts from databases are displayed on the site, controls only the site’s layout, add new elements like blocks, grids, widgets. This issue could be caused by a plugin which set an expiry time for posts. so you should check if somehow you have a plugin with a similar functionality active and remove it or change its settings.
Thanks!
I don’t have any plugin that deal with how posts are displayed at all. It is in the block of any of the blocks from the theme does this. I already disabled all plugins except Visual Composer but it still does it but even if I give you access to the site, it still won’t show issue until I don’t post a new post in that category for like up to a month and half time.
It just does it on its own in about month and half time. Last one I posted in that category before yesterday was September 13th. I am just going to leave it and it does it again I will just add a new review. If all else fails that will do it.
Hi
This is a very strange issue and I am not sure appears like that. On our demo, for example, the block aren’t edited from more then 1 month and also the latest post was published last year, however the posts are displayed fine in blocks.
If this happens again try to clear all caches deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer and test again.
Thanks!
