Featured post using block element on paginated pages in blog

Hi there,

might be easiest to treat it with some CSS:

.paged .generate-columns-container article:first-child {
    width: 100%;
}

Hi David...

Thanks for your quick response as always.

I would have used that CSS if ad units are not there in the block element for the featured post.

Two ad units are attached to the top and bottom of a featured post block unit.

Please chk this Screenshot: https://ibb.co/37DFHsb

Kindly advise for this situation.

Have you tried the CSS yet? I don't see a conflict between the CSS and the ads block.

Let me know :)

The CSS will make the first post take full width but it WON'T bring the ad blocks to page2/page3 etc which is in block element...

I am using ad shortcodes in the block element which is applied to featured posts.

To explain to you better... I am adding that CSS now...pls take a look at these 2 pages...

Hi there,

We can tell the template to display on paged pages like this:

add_filter( 'generate_should_render_content_template', function( $display, $post_id ) {
    $loop_item_display = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_generate_post_loop_item_display', true );

    if ( 'is-first-post' === $loop_item_display ) {
        global $wp_query;

        if ( 0 === $wp_query->current_post && is_paged() ) {
            $display = true;
        }
    }

    return $display;
}, 10, 2 );

Hope this helps!
