Sorting posts by current query then limiting no. of posts shown

[gdoddsldn]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the Pro custom skins on a category listing, and am using Elementor's theme builder in order to manage this. The plugin works nicely until I filter the results by 'Current Query', then it seems to ignore the 'Number of posts to show' option.

Example: https://s32182.p980.sites.pressdns.com/category/finance/ - here the top section should only have 1 visible post.

Does the classic skin behaves the same?

No, all works as normal there. Only happens when using the plugin loops.

What about using a simple loop template?

I’ve just updated the page to a loop that just includes the title, the problem still persists.

I've just pushed a new version out. Please update and let me know if the issue is fixed.

Unfortunately it’s still happening.

Cleared the cache etc. after installing the update.

It seems when you use Current Query the number of posts cannot be set inside the Post Widgets. You can only set it in Wordpress Settings > Reading

But fortunately you can use Elementor custom query to make a hook and filter the current query: https://developers.elementor.com/custom-query-filter/

In your case you case you can use this code:

// change the number of posts per page in elementor qustom query
add_action( 'elementor/query/my_pagination', function( $query ) {
    $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 1 );
} );

in your child theme's function.php .

And add it in your query tab:

wow, thanks your small tip helped me big time, I just changed the number in here and all fixed Wordpress Settings > Reading before couldn't' control the amount throw the widget
