[Support request] Loop issue, documentation wrong ?

[Rolf]

Hello,

in the documentation https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/query-loop-overview/#query-parameters there is a possibility to add some parameters. I need to add a filter based on a category, it i’m not able. Some hint for me how i can manage this ?

Hi there,

the block you’re using is the core Query Loop Block, you need to use the GenerateBlocks Query Loop.

Hey,

thanks David! i hope you have a happy new year. Correct now i have much more selection points. Now the Bonus Question. How i get the query dynamic based on the opened category page ?

[David]

Happy New Year!

There is an option in the settings called: Inherit Query from Template
If you use that and you add the query loop in a Block Element – Loop template then it will use the current query terms

You need to add some blocks inside the Post Template container and set their dynamic data options.
It make be easier if when you add the Query Loop block, choose one of the pre-defined settings OR you can copy and paste a Query Loop design from here:

Hey,

my issue is that i have a master post type and some child post type. At the moment i can only select one of the child post type what has not really a category. Only the master type has a category. Now, how can i query the child based on the master post type ?

[David]

Ah ok, so the CPT has 'hierarchical' => true, ?
