Thanks for your reply!
Though I’m not quite sure if I totally get it. I tried to move the code up –– just like you said, I’m just not sure up til which line after the_post() should be moved up.
I posted my complete page here: https://pastebin.com/bPhU1N0p
If it’s not too much to ask, would you please link up a pastbin with the code you would have me use?
Thanks again,
Nick
