Hi, Sorry for open another ticket but our previous ticket was close (Maybe you can merge the two..)

so the previous ticket is : https://toolset.com/forums/topic/display-view-content-with-the-grid-plugin/

The code you provided to me work, I'm able to display the latest post form the "Thematique" I'm in. But it display only the first latest post. I want my grid to display the right number of post accordingly to the number I set on Plugin settings.

You used the code (edited as required) from this previous reply, is that correct?

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/display-view-content-with-the-grid-plugin/#post-1124376

In that sample I added some error_log calls to help with debugging.

When you visit a thematique post (which is supposed to show the related standard posts), what do you see in your debug.log?

(If you deleted those error_log calls, add back the error_log call for related posts to be able to see what is returned by the relationships API call.)

[marcJ]

Yes I used and edited the code you provided me on the previous reply. Her my debug.log file :
Maybe you understand something... Not me..

Thanks for sharing that.

That confirms that the thematique post you are displaying only has a single post (ID = 383147) connected to it, which is why only one post is being displayed, regardless of the setting for how many posts the grid should display. There is only one post to display.

If you connect more posts to that same thematique post, then you should see more results in the grid.

[marcJ]

Yes I understand what you say and this is the problem I have connected 3 post for my test, like I show you on my screenshot, and on the front end it display only the latest.

Maybe I have connected post on a bad way ? I don't know.

[Nigel]

Can I take a look at your site myself?

I may need to install one or two plugins to help with debugging, but I won't otherwise make any changes.

Be sure to have a current back up, though.

I will mark your next reply as private so that I can get log-in credentials from you—you may want to create a temporary admin user for me to use that you can later delete.

[Nigel]

Where did you add the custom code that filters the query used by the grid plugin?

I was looking for it in Toolset > Settings > Custom Code. If you added it to the theme I'm unable to edit the theme files from within WP admin.

Could you move the code from where you have it and add it as a custom code snippet on the above page?

[marcJ]

By custom code you mean this :

function my_query_args($query_args, $grid_name) {
  
    if ($grid_name == 'Male') {
 
        global $post;
        error_log('$post: ' . print_r($post, true));
 
        $related_posts = toolset_get_related_posts( $post->ID, 'rel_boardpost', 'parent', array( 'limit' => 999, 'return' => 'post_id', 'role_name_to_return' => 'other' ) );
        error_log('related_posts: ' . print_r($related_posts, true));
 
        $query_args['post__in'] = $related_posts;
    }
      
    return $query_args;
      
}
add_filter('tg_wp_query_args', 'my_query_args', 10, 2);

is on my functions.php

if you mean the custom code to display the grid is on elementor -> template -> "Section Template"

[marcJ]

Hi,

I didn't know this features from toolset and is awesome. I moved the code from functions.php to Toolset > Settings > Custom Code

But the problem is not yet solved.

[Nigel]

I checked your site and everything seemed set up correctly, but then testing the toolset_get_related_posts hook on my own local test site I realised that one of the parameters was provided incorrectly, which is why only one post was being returned.

I fixed the code on your site, and it is now working correctly.

[marcJ]

Really Nice Thank you very much for your awesome support.
