[Resolved] Change post per page – custom post type archive page. Element templates skipped

No. Didn’t work. I’m using code snippet plugin right now for testing. It’s set at priority 10. Both together as follows:

add_filter( ‘generate_elements_custom_args’, function( $args ) {

$args[‘suppress_filters’] = true;

return $args;

} );

function j66co_photography_posts_per_page($query) {
if (is_post_type_archive( ‘photography’ )) {
$query->set(‘posts_per_page’, 3);
}
}

add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘j66co_photography_posts_per_page’);

Just saw reply. Create admin user. Info in private box. Thanks for taking a look.

Just seeing this child theme reply. Saw you login last night. Did you have any luck? Want me to disable child theme? I’m afraid that will break the whole site.

No. Renamed it. Didn’t work.

Sure. It’s my dev server domain. I’ve been up since 3a.,it’s 9p now. Really tired. I’ll hit it up tomorrow and comment back. Next couple days / whenever you have a chance to take a look a staging that would be cool.

I’ll deactivate plug-ins one by one on staging after creating staging first and comment back. Just give me a day or so.

Hey Elvin / Team GeneratePress

I finally got a chance to clone my dev site to staging. Login credentials are in private section if still open to taking a look.

Background
As suggested in your last comment from a few days ago, I deactivated the child theme. No luck solving problems though.

Issue:

Trying to reduce number of posts from default 10 to 3 for testing in the “photography” CPT (and eventually “showcase” CPT).

____________

Result:

a.
It works but all Generateblocks Elements Header Hero images / Content Template layouts get disregarding.

b.
Pagination stops working. Page 2.. opps not found.

c.
Mobile menu stopped working on pages with var dump code.

Code:

function j66co_photography_posts_per_page($query) {
if (is_post_type_archive( ‘photography’ )) {
$query->set(‘posts_per_page’, 3);
}
}

add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘j66co_photography_posts_per_page’);

What’s set in GB Elements?

Locations to display the Content Templates / Headers are all set to the correct targets (all category archives) etc.

A couple of elements won’t allow drop down; hence I tried the filter below. Problem. Couldn’t located ID of category archive / CPT archive pages. Amended var dump code into archive-photography.php / archive-showcase.php

int(0) returned

Code:

$posts = get_posts( );
echo ‘

';
		var_dump(get_queried_object_id());
	echo '

‘;
die( );

Issue:

Trying to have CPT show up in categories archive.

Result:

Same as above. Got it to work but it’s not using the (a.) The Generateblocks Elements Header Hero images / Content Template layouts get disregarding.

Code:

// show CPT in Categories
// https://wpbeaches.com/show-custom-post-types-category-archive-page/

function j66co_show_cpt_archives( $query ) {
if( is_category() || is_tag() && empty( $query->query_vars[‘suppress_filters’] ) ) {
$query->set( ‘post_type’, array(
‘post’, ‘nav_menu_item’, ‘showcase’
));
return $query;
}
}
add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘j66co_show_cpt_archives’ );

Thanks for your assistance in helping me unwind this. I do sincerely appreciate it.

Sure. Sincere thanks for taking a look. Feel free to do whatever you want to the staging site!

Deactivate plugins, etc. I’m away from desktop right now on iphone.
