I am having some trouble with the category posts in a theme. I am using Block 9 and would like to sort the posts based off the different interests.
The first problem I am having is that if I tag a post with mulitple interests it only shows up in one of the category blocks. I would need them to show up in muliptles.
Also the other problem is that sometimes even when only one is tagged, it does not show up either.
I have attached screen shots on the page, and the set up in the back-end. The site is still password protected.
Thanks.

Hello elpaulli,
If you want to sort your posts and order by Tags, you have to use the filter by tag slug from Block Settings, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/NQqp6lMGXnN and in this example, the block 9 will show you the posts which have abc tag and it part of Travel category. Also, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps!
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about what you want to achieve, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thank you for the message!
Thank you, and I don’t think I addressed the problem correctly.
So in the screen shots that I sent. I have 6 posts that are labeled into a category. However when I put that category into a block on my page only 5 of the posts show up. That was the issue I was having in the screen shots I sent.
I have no problem when I tag a post, it is sorted correctly.
The second problem might be easier with an example,
I have a post X, I have it assigned to three different categories, Sports, Movies, and Games. While I tag it to a company ABC. When I go to display it on the page, it shows up correctly when I make a block pulling posts from tag – company ABC. However when I post it to a block sorting posts from category – Sports or Movies or Games, it only shows up in Sports or one of the blocks, not in the other two. I would like the same post to show up multiple times in different blocks on the same page. Currently it is not doing that.
I will attempt to disable all other plugins and see if that helps.
Thank you.
Hello elpaulli,
For your first problem, if you want to display more than 5 posts for your block, please check the blocks settings and increase the number for “Limit post number”, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/CMAI25yd Also, if you have more posts to display you should set your pagination style from the panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/E1ZRnkEM6A
I did a test on my side. I make a post and I have assigned to two different category and then I have filtrate this post in two block, first by first category and the second one by the second category and the post will appear twice on my side and everything seems to work as expected. Try without other untested plugins and check the results.

Yes, thank you for your help, I have a feeling it is the way I have the blocks set up because when I post them to a masonry grid they show up in both categories.
Thank you for your help.
