Load More Posts button malfunctioning

Hi josh-6874,

Thanks for reaching to us.

First of all, I’m really sorry have taken long time to reply you.

You should deactivate all plugins (except Required Plugins) and then reactivate them one by one. This makes it very easy to isolate the plugin causing problems.

Hi josh-6874,

To assist you in the best possible manner, I kindly ask that you please provide me temporary wp-admin info (wp-admin URL, username, password) to the Private Content area, this will allow me to thoroughly investigate and address your concerns more efficiently.

Hi josh-6874,

Please try to add the code below in the functions.php file in your child theme, let me know if it works correctly.

add_filter('pre_get_posts', function ( $wp_query ) {
	if ( is_admin() || $wp_query->is_main_query() || 'post' !== $wp_query->get('post_type') ) {
		return $wp_query;
	}

	$wp_query->set( 'ignore_sticky_posts', true );

	return $wp_query;
});

Hi josh-6874,

This code actually works. In our theme, in order to display posts, we use the default functionality from WordPress https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/.

And as you can see from the documentation, sticky posts are not counted in the number of posts to be displayed on the page. So the provided custom code to make them behave like regular posts. Unfortunately, at this time it is not possible for the number of sticky posts to be counted in the number of output posts.

Hope it clears.

Hi josh-6874,

As I explained above that a sticky post is Always displayed, and when you choose to display 3 posts, it displays 4 posts and that is correct. But when you select 4 posts, 4 posts will be displayed because the sticky post has the 4th position in the order https://monosnap.com/file/OLjcNJ6TpxYIJSKP3bd6tIUh8cOnjt, and it is already taken into account in the posts per page.

If the sticky post is the last on the list, then when displaying posts, 1 extra post will always be displayed. And if the sticky post is the first in the list, there will be no extra post.

Hope it clears.

Regards,
