Missing the first item from Magazine Grid header(Dispatch Theme)
7 replies · Started by Aditya on September 11, 2021
Hello,
I would like to ask regarding the Dispatch theme, specifically on the Magazine Grid Header.
It seems like I'm always missing the first item of the grid (the one with the bigger thumbnail on the left with 'Read more' button), like below:

Currently what I'm having is this:
![]()
I tried using pagination (WP Show Post > Header > Post > Pagination), but the page 2 seems to be working perfectly:

Below is the setting of my "Header" WP Show Post:
Posts
- post type: post
- taxonomy: category, terms: featured
- posts per page: 4
- pagination: yes
columns
- column: 1
- columns gutter: 2em
images
- images: yes
- image width: empty
- image height: empty
- image alignment: center
- image location: above title
content
- content type: excerpt
- excerpt length (words):25
- include title: yes
- title element: h2
- read more text: next
- read more button class: button
meta
- include terms: yes
- terms location: below title
more settings
- order: descending
- order by: date
- status: published
- tax operator: IN
- no result messages: Sorry, no posts were found.
is there anything perhaps that I accidentally change that remove the first thumbnail?
Thank you!
Hi Aditya,
The settings looks right.
Any chance you can link us to the site in question?

Hi there,
Do you have an offset value on the magazine grid? It seems to have +1 on it. Can you check and confirm?
And about pagination: Be careful with its usage. There's a bug with WP Show post.
But to be exact, it's a bug w/ WordPress' core function. It's when there's multiple WP_query() in one page with some post lists having pagination + offset.
Thanks for the reply Elvin,
I'm not sure if I'm right.
But based on WP show post > Header > More settings
the offset value is 0.
I can't seem to find offset value in Elements > Magazine Grid.
Or perhaps the offset value is on the CSS? if so, how do find it?
Thank you.
It's found on Dashboard > WP Show Posts > Header.
On its "More" settings tab, can you check if there's a value placed on Offset.
But I think you can skip this part for now.
I've inspected your site and it doesn't seem to be an issue with offset.
The post is actually there but the layout is messed up because the post that's supposed to show on the first panel on the magazine grid doesn't have a post image.
The first post that's supposed to show is "Hello World". Can you edit this page and assign a featured image to see if anything shows up on the first panel of the magazine grid?
Hi Elvin,
I just added the featured image for that particular post and it works like a charm.
Thank you!
No problem. Glad to be of any help. :D
