[Resolved] Is WP Show Posts Plugin now merged with GB Pro?

[MMS]

Hi, I’m trying to enable infinite scroll on my blog home page but have just discovered that WP Show Posts (which I use for my home page) is being merged or has already merged into GB Pro. I can’t seem to find any instructions on whether I still need the WP Show Posts plugin, or how to migrate the home page setup into GB Pro. Are there any instructions available? Thanks

Hi there,

95% merged. the GenerateBkocks Query Loop block is its replacement, but we haven’t added infinite scroll / load more to it yet.

So if you need the infinite scroll / load more, then for now you will either need to continue using WP Show Posts, or use the Theme template and a Content Loop Block Element.

Let me know

OK Thanks, are there any tutorials / instructions on how to create a home page using query loops? Thanks

See here:

https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/query-loop-overview/

To save time you can use the ( Pro ) Pattern Library block or copy ( some Free ones ) one from here:

Hi, I’ve copied the ‘Magazine Latest Posts’ from the pattern library and set up a draft of a new home page using it. However, I don’t seem to be able to get it to adopt the default container width set in Appearance > customizer. Currently, I have the default site ‘Container Width’ set to 1400px (Customizer > Layout > Container). But when I preview the new draft home page the width appears to only be around 820px. Can you tell me how to adjust the overall width to match the current default? Thanks

In the post editor, use the List View to show the blocks that were added by that pattern.
The top block will be a Container Block, select that block and check its Layout settings where the inner container width can be changed.

Hi, In the page editor for the new home page, When the top Container Block is selected, the current layout settings for CONTAINER and INNER CONTAINER are set to ‘full width’ I’ve tried setting the INNER CONTAINER to ‘Contained Width’ set to 1400px but this doesn’t seem to work either.

Any chance you can link us to the page in question?

Hi, Its a draft page. I’ve added login details below so you can see the draft. The draft page is called ‘New Home’

I’m stuck on this screen unfortunately:

I’m a little confused. This is what I’m seeing:

What exactly isn’t working?

The width of the live homepage is 1400px and the draft one (New Home) seems stuck on approx. 820px wide. I can’t seem to find a way to get it the same size as the live one.

This layout element is setting the content width to 900px for all pages and posts:

Hi, In. the exclude rules for the Content Pages element I’ve got exclude ‘Front Page’ set. So when I set this new home page as the new ‘Front Page’ should the 900px setting be overridden?
