Remove unnecessary query from global blocks.

Each time we use a global block – eg: a text or a social media icon – we can see an unrelated SQL query fetching the most recent 5 posts.

Query Monitor helps to find that they all have in common to be extended from the global block class.

wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/common/wp_booster/td_global_blocks.php:27

Query below:
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID
FROM wp_posts
WHERE 1=1
AND wp_posts.post_type = 'post'
AND ((wp_posts.post_status = 'publish'))
ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC
LIMIT 0, 5

Please help to find how to disable this query.
As a workaround, we tend to use RAW HTML block but it’s not super convenient!

Thanks!!

Hi Vlad,

Thanks for investigating this.
I reviewed the screen capture you provided but they do not match the queries we see.

Below is the call stack when adding a Multipurpose Shortcode “Inline Text”, which triggers the MySQL request I shared above.
I can reproduce this with a fresh install on Newspaper with a new WordPress.
Can you see it too?
