Query loop issue
14 replies · Started by Carrie on October 15, 2021
I've used a query loop to bring in blog posts, and it looks great, but nothing is clickable to actually go to a blog post to read it. Is there a setting I'm missing?
Hi Carrie,
I can't replicate the issue on my end, can you try disable all plugins except GP Premium to test?
Let me know :)
Are you saying disable everything but GP Premium then create a new query loop to see if it does the same thing? I did that, and it's exactly the same. It seem to happen when I change to columns, then select Image, Date & Time.
I don't know if it's related, but I'm also having the nav/header overlay issue that is another tech support ticket, and issues using any kind of reusable blocks. When I change an image in a reusable block, it changes images in each location where I've placed that template.
I didn't have any issues until I upgraded GenerateBlocks to GenerateBlocks Pro.
You have my login on two other tickets if you need to take a look.

That sounds right. Reusable block is a core feature of WordPress, GP has no control over it. You'll need to convert the reusable block to a regular block, so the changes made to reusable block wouldn't apply to that block.
I didn’t have any issues until I upgraded GenerateBlocks to GenerateBlocks Pro.
Does that mean if you disable GenerateBlocks pro the issue is gone?
I'll have a look at the query loop, will get back to you.
I logged in and see this:

Can you activate this make title a link option?
And your header/nav overlap topic has been answered, I don't think it's related.
Let me know :)
Oh, that's great! I wonder why that isn't turned on by default? Is it a safe assumption that the query loop update each time a new blog post is published?
Also, how do I convert the reusable block to a regular block?
The support topic I found for that (here https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/reusable-block/) does not match what I see on my screen, since the publish option does not bring up that option.
Hi there,
with the Query Block, whatever settings you apply to one post will apply to all posts listed inside. So adding new posts they too will have the link automatically added.
Reusable Blocks UI is terrible - check the video here, that may help:
That helped so much, David, thank you!!
I have another issue maybe you can help with. On all pages (not the home page, blog page or posts), the page title seems to overlap the nav, and the page title is too far over to the right. Can you tell me how to fix it?

In Customizer > Additional CSS - there is this code that is causing the overlap - delete that:
body:not(.home):not(.woocommerce) .site.container {
margin-top: -40px;
}
That worked like a charm! But it removed a cool design element from the blog page and individual posts. It had a cool overlap where the featured image overlapped the black header by a bit (see the Target starter site at https://generatepress.com/site-library/). How can I restore that design feature?
I have answered your question in that topic, can you give it a try?
I'll mark this topic as resolved :)
I didn't understand it, that's why I asked David.
I'll pick up the other conversation back on the other thread, thanks.
