I created a query loop using the new updated GP (which is easier now) and this is linked to a category on my blog. The location is Post Category then Beginner Cat Photo Skills. My questions is how do I add the element I created to a new page?
I know I used to use a hook to locate where the element went but this doesn’t work now as I put Post Category instead. Can you tell me if I am going about creating the query loop the wrong way?

Hi Marjorie,
The Query Loop Block is a GenerateBlocks feature.
It can be directly added to a Page through the Block Editor.
Are you planning to add the Query Loop on multiple pages or just one specific page?
To assess the issue, can you also share a screenshot/s of your setup for the Element and the Query Loop inside it? Uploading Screenshots: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-the-premium-support-forum/#uploading-screenshots
I recreated the query loop in a page (using the query loop block as you suggest ) This is for one particular category (photos) and I wil create another different one (for videos). They will not appear more than once each is an entry point for one category of posts.
When I published the Query Loop the result is the second very odd display you see in the screenshot. I must be doing something wrong but I cannot work out what it is! I can adjust things like the spacing and margins and, frustratingly, the buttons do not come out level either.
The two links you provided are the same. Can you re-share the second link again?
Oh bother Fernando, I apologise for the mistake. Let me try again.
Thank you, Marjorie!
To clarify, are the issue with the Image and the excerpt not appearing?
Can you provide admin login credentials? I’ll take a closer look at your structure and setup.

I set up th Query Loop (I thought) to add all the recent posts in one category to a page. At the moment I get one post on the page. The QL information is clear enough so I am frustrated I can’t get it right.I just realised that unless I add something else my page culd me a hunded miles long!!
Can you confirm the email address I need to use to add an admin for you to the site?
Sorry, I’m not getting a full grasp of the issue.
Here’s a simple example of me setting up a Query Loop in a Page to display 3 posts of a specific category: https://share.getcloudapp.com/KounwoRZ
You can use support@generatepress.com as the email.
OK I will add the details for you as an Admin and then check the link to the post you give. Thank you.
Email now sent!
I see. You set it to “Inherit query from template”.
Can you toggle off that? This option is ideal if you’re altering the main loop of an Archive Page. Reference: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-loop-template/
See: https://share.getcloudapp.com/xQuOArnx/annotate
If it’s on a static Page, you’ll need to disable that setting and add parameters as I’ve shown in the screen recording I provided.
Hello Fernando,
OK I have toggled off the inherit query template which has created another issue that I can’t understand. BTW Thanks for the easy to follow links they were a helpful read but…
When I publish the Element it works fine for the page, however, it also does the same odd thing at the top of a page which I click one of the links on my front page. [I hve three popular posts for people to visit from the front page).
My original intention was to collate all of the posts in a category on a page for ease of sharing. One for Photography and (if i am able to sort this out) One for Video posts. I did not anticipate that this wuld make clikcing on front page links almost impossible.
I did not anticipate the query loop creating the issue you will see in Screenshots three and four. For now I have left the Qery Loop in draft.
Can you see where I might be going wrong?
Hi Marjorie,
Can you reshare the site link here?
Also, can you go to Users > All users, and copy and paste the credentials for our admin login here?

We’ll take a closer look at the issue.

Sorry, I’m a bit confused as well.
Can you provide a brief explanation of what you’re trying to make?
Also, where did you use the GB Query Loop Block? I can’t seem to locate it. Can you provide the specific link to the page?
I have been away, sorry for the delay in responding.
I want to make three pages for the three parts of my site, Photo, Video, Cat Life. I assumed a query loop would gather all of the posts together for this but it appears I am causing a lot of problems using the QL and perhaps the simple block for posts would do instead?
