[Plugin: Mini Loops] Multiple Mini Loops on the same page?

It shouldn’t be a problem to call the widget multiple times. In fact, I was just doing so moments ago to help another user out.

If you can narrow down where the markup is breaking or provide more details, I might be able to offer more assistance.

It looks like some of my HTML just disappears. Let’s see. The site is at:

https://chenryhen.com/clients/twg/

Right now, it looks ok, because I put the information in statically. Here is what’s on the page itself, via the WordPress content box:

<div id="story-slider">
<ul id="features">
   -- I'm snipping just the elements in this list --
</ul>
</div>

</div>
<div id="main-content-bottom"></div>

<div id="latest-news">
<h1>Latest News</h1>
[miniloop number_posts=1 categories=-4][ml_format][/miniloop]
</div>

I’d like the features ul to have posts in the ‘featured’ category though. But even if I just do this:

<div id="story-slider">
[miniloop]
</div>

</div>
<div id="main-content-bottom"></div>

<div id="latest-news">
<h1>Latest News</h1>
[miniloop number_posts=1 categories=-4][ml_format][/miniloop]
</div>

The bottom of that features area just disappears and the features div and the Latest News div run together. Thanks for offering to take a look!

Okay, I think I see.
Mixing closing and self-closing shortcodes can cause unexpected results. Try closing the first one

<div id="story-slider">
[miniloop][/miniloop]
</div>

</div>
<div id="main-content-bottom"></div>

<div id="latest-news">
<h1>Latest News</h1>
[miniloop number_posts=1 categories=-4][ml_format][/miniloop]
</div>

Also, I hope that extra closing div is just the result of a partial snippet…?

Let me know if that helps.

That extra div does belong to an open div tag further up. ??

That did the trick! I think I’m back in business. Is it possible to create an ml_format2 or does it not work like that?

You can have extra [ml_format]s. Just pass an alternate custom field name. For example

[ml_format name='ml_format2']

Ah gotcha. I really appreciate all the help Kailey
