Duplicate Article Issues on Homepage While Using Infinite Load

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 7

Hi, I just updated the last update which you released 25th Nov. After updating the theme and website I’m having duplicate article issues into my website homepage. I’ve used block 14 to create a infinite load of latest articles but I see the articles from other block shows into this block section while loading infinitely. My website is http://www.dietfigure.com.

Can any of the support member can check the issue and give a solution to get rid of duplicate articles. Note: I tried offset posts but no results 🙁

Hi

This is the default behavior when you set you block this way. The filter does not detect which post is shown previously so these situations can occur. This is on our list of improvements and in a future update we hope we will be able to implement an option to make these random posts unique.
As an alternative you can sort your posts in a different way or use pagination so doubled posts will not be as obvious.

Thank you for your understanding!

Can you give me some more idea about that so that I can try it?

Hello,
As an idea on how to do it, you can use offsets. What this means is the articles will start from whatever post number you input in the offset area. So if you would input an offset of 6, the articles will begin from post 7 so you can filter post by latest and offset the posts of the blocks above your block 14. (http://screencast.com/t/z07kCAfu)
As an example i have a block block 15 and a block 14 on a page.
If i do not use an offset and set the block 14 to latest posts and infinite load this is the result:

If i apply an offset of 6 posts (i set the above block to display 6 posts): http://screencast.com/t/YPjY2Fk7YQ7V
I hope this helps
Thank you!
