Latest posts block – incorrect order

    When I activate the Slim SEO plugin, it re-orders the latest blog post block on my home page. It should be ordered by newest post first but when I activate Slim SEO the 6 posts that were showing change.

    For example, the first post that shows should be about ‘tours in Gozo’. I updated the post and republished with a published date of yesterday (3 November). However, when I activate Slim SEO it changes the first latest post to the one published on 10 October, about ‘best view of Kotor’.

    What’s even stranger is that when I edit the homepage (a static page) in WordPress, it shows the correct posts but when I then preview the page it shows a different set of 6 posts (and those are the ones that show on live).

    When I deactivate the plugin it goes back to how it should be on the live site homepage, showing for example the Gozo tours as the first latest post, and when I reactivate it, I get the same issue. For info, I’m using Kadence theme and replaced Yoast SEO (deactivated but not yet deleted in case I have to revert back) with Slim SEO.

    Do you know why this is happening and how I can fix it? As I’m very impressed with the improved speed from replacing my old SEO plugin, so I’m keen to get this sorted if possible. Many thanks.

    Hi @katflipflops ,

    When parsing blocks to generate the meta description, some dynamic blocks can be affected. We write about this issue here and how to fix it. I’ve just checked your site and found that this is the Kadence block. Please try this snippet:

    add_filter( 'slim_seo_skipped_blocks', function( $blocks ) {
        $blocks[] = 'kadence/posts';
        return $blocks;
    } );
