Reply To: Load More Posts button malfunctioning

By editing the page and saving it again solved the issue. (I really have no idea what is going on here.)
The remaining issue is that the “number of items per post” under WPBakery does not consider the sticky blog post, and displays in addition to it. For example, if I make one blog post sticky and the the number of items per post to “3”, 4 blog posts appear instead of three. Can you help me fix this?
