Dispal Posts after the first 12

    Hi All,

    I have an unusual one here. I wish to use this plugin to load more posts after the first 12. To give you some idea here is my very custom loop.php page…

    <div id="column_01">
    <!-- First Loop: Display post 1 -->
    <?php query_posts('showposts=2'); ?>
    <?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=2&offset=0'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
    <?php static $count1 = 0; if ($count1 == "2") {break;} else { ?>
      <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
        <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
          <div class="the-title">
            <h2>
              <?php the_title(); ?>
            </h2>
          </div>
          <div class="img-container">
            <figure>
              <!-- The Post Thumbnail -->
              <?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
                <?php the_post_thumbnail('bloglanding-post-thumbnail'); ?>
              <?php endif; ?>
            </figure>
          </div>
        </a>
        <div class="socialWarf"><?php social_warfare(); ?></div>
      </article>
    <?php $count1++; } ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
  </div>

    After this first Column I have a further 3 more showing the latest 12 posts. After that I want to rest using this plugin. The repeater template I tries to use this this…..

    <?php query_posts('showposts=6'); ?>
    <?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=6&offset=12'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
    <?php static $count5 = 0; if ($count5 == "6") {break;} else { ?>
<article id="post-mainblock" <?php post_class(); ?>>
	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
		<div class="the-title">
			<h2>
				<?php the_title(); ?>
			</h2>
		</div>
	<div class="img-container">
		<figure>
			<!-- The Post Thumbnail -->
			<?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
			<?php the_post_thumbnail('bloglanding-post-thumbnail'); ?>
			<?php endif; ?>
		</figure>
</div>
</a>
</article>
    <?php $count5++; } ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

    As you can see from the page it is showing a lot more than the first 6 posts it should be showing. Remember the are 4 columns showing the latest 12 and at the time of writing this there are 18 test posts published starting with the usual Hello World post.

    I hope all this makes sense!
    Many thanks,

    Phillip Dews

    Oops it should say “Display Posts after the First 12”

    @phillipdewsblogger Ajax Load More creates its own query and you shouldnt be doing this in your Repeater Template.

    Have you seen my Implementation Guide
    https://connekthq.com/plugins/ajax-load-more/docs/implementation-guide/

    Or the Repeater Template docs
    https://connekthq.com/plugins/ajax-load-more/docs/repeater-templates/

    All you may need to do is set offset=“12”in your shortcode to get this working.

    @dcooney Thank you for that, However its still not working.
    At the bottom of my loop.php file I now have this….

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more container_type="div" offset=“12”]'); ?>

    for my repeater template I have this….

    <article id="post-mainblock" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<div class="img-container">
<figure>
<!-- The Post Thumbnail -->
<?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail('bloglanding-post-thumbnail'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</figure>
</div>
<div class="the-title">
<h2>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</h2>
</div>
</a>
<div class="socialWarf"><?php social_warfare(); ?></div>
</article>

    However if you look HERE you will see the load more button at the bottom after Testing Post 7 and no more posts showing or loading buddy.

    Many thanks,

    @phillipdewsblogger You’re ajax request is returning a 500 error.
    This is likely a PHP error in your Repeater Template.

    I’d suggest checking your site error_log to see exactly what the issue is or share the template again, here.

    Hi @dcooney,

    There are no Error Logs at all showing. I have now reverted to the default repeater template in your plugin and its still the same issue fella.

    This is the one I’m using….

    <li class="alm-item<?php if (! has_post_thumbnail() ) { echo ' no-img'; } ?>">
   <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
      the_post_thumbnail('alm-thumbnail');
   }?>
   <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
   <p class="entry-meta">
       <?php the_time("F d, Y"); ?>
   </p>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</li>

    It’s not the repeater template itself. it’s your suggestion. Before I had this in my loop.php file…

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more offset=“12”]'); ?>

    However when I take out the offset so its like this….

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more]'); ?>

    It works perfectly

    Many thanks,
    Phillip

    Looks like I fixed it with this….

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more post_type="post" offset="12"]'); ?>

    All good now. Hopefully this will help others. Thanks for your insights @dcooney
