6 days ago From what I can see in the screenshot, you didn't replace the {query_id} with your custom id that you added under the Query settings in your loop grid.
Here's an example from my blog

5 days ago Thank you so much @Daveden2 - I knew I might be missing something obvious.
Actually - this still didn't work. The loops post widget is not displaying anything at all, and the straight up posts is displaying an exact copy of the page it is on.

5 days ago Let's take it step by step. In your PHP code snippet plugin, use PHP like this:
<?php
/**
* Update the query to use specific post types.
*
* @since 1.0.0
* @param \WP_Query $query The WordPress query instance.
*/
function my_query_by_post_types( $query ) {
$query->set( 'post_type', [ 'retreat', 'workshop', 'event' ] );
}
add_action( 'elementor/query/q_post_types', 'my_query_by_post_types' );Where retreat, workshop, and event are the slugs for your custom post types.
Then, in your posts widget or loop grid widget, add q_post_types as your query_id.
Very important Make sure the function name my_query_by_post_types and q_post_types are unique. You should not create multiple php functions with the same name

5 days ago Thank you so very much. I recreated a local host version of my site to with the bare minimum plugins and this worked perfectly.
I am so grateful for your time and patience.
Warm regards, Kathryn

Prerequisites
Description
I want to display 4 different custom post types in the loop post widget. I have followed the instructions as in the Elementor Developer docs (and tried a few other variations too). I have not been successful in making it work. It pulls in pages, not posts. I have tried: • all plugins off (except Elementor, CodeKit & ACF) • placing post widget on a different 'clean' page. • all the different settings in the post widget.
• post widget, loop widget and gallery widget options. • Elementor support, who after a lengthy process of collecting information sent me here.
The ACF key for the post types is in singular, however I have also tried in plural as they appear in the dashboard with no change in the result.
I am not a coder. I know some CSS and can follow PHP instruction and concepts - just :)
Example page with issue: https://tarasprings.com.au/multiple-posts-test/
Steps to reproduce
Use Post Loop Widget.
Add Query Id: my_query_by_post_types.
Add following code to (Theme) using CodeKit set to 'everywhere'
PHP code used: <?php function my_query_by_post_types( $query ) { $query->set( 'post_type', [ 'retreat', 'workshop', 'event' ] ); } add_action( 'elementor/query/{$query_id}', 'my_query_by_post_types' );
Expected behavior
For the post widget to display posts from my multiple custom post types
