Duplicate Posts Found in Paginated Results

[mdtanjid0]

Quick summary

The Load More button on the TextBook theme is pulling duplicate posts instead of new ones.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install TextBook theme.
2. Don't set any static page as the homepage; instead, set home as default from reading/customizer.
3. And make sure to have some posts on yours.
4. And set the Blog posts limit to 1/2 to test the load more button.
5. And have some sticky posts for example 3-4 ( this is important to replicate it )
6. And check the blog posts on the homepage and try loading some posts via load more button.

What you expected to happen

Instead of displaying duplicate posts, it should show unique and old/new posts via the button.

What actually happened

It's loading the duplicate posts instead.

As a workaround, I have advised the user to remove the posts from Sticky.

📌 REPRODUCTION RESULTS

• Tested on Simple – Replicated
• Tested on Atomic – Replicated

📌 FINDINGS/SCREENSHOTS/VIDEO

• Tested with other classic themes, and I was able to reproduce the problem consistently.
• The problem is specifically related to the pagination feature, where duplicate posts appear on the Previous/Next page links as well.

Simple - the issue can be replicated with or without the sticky post.

The sticky post was also duplicated in this case

Hi there @mdtanjid0 and @karenroldan ! The Loop team mainly works on the Reader in Calypso and some other social and engagement features on WP.com. Did you mean to assign this to another team?

[karenroldan]

Thanks for the clarification! I'll move this ticket out of the Loop team.
