I am trying to set up a category menu with Views as follows:
Section 1 title
- item 1
- item 2
- item 3
- item 4
Section 2 title
- item 5
- item 6
Section 3 title
- etc.

I studied the documentation on setting up loops (wrap, pad, index).
My problem here is that every section has a different number of items. How can I handle this situation?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - could you please let me know how the "Section" is configured with your setup. Is it setup as taxonomy? so "Section 1 title" will be taxonomy term.

Do you want to group your posts by taxonomy term?

"Section" is not a taxonomy, as I see it ; it's just a title.

Like
[wpv-item index=1]
<h4>Section tiltle 1</h4>
[wpv-post-link]
etc.
[wpv-item index=5]
<h4>Section tiltle 2</h4>
[wpv-post-link]
etc.

I guess I could give each indiviual item an index, but there may be an esasier way.

It could be that a taxonomy if that is easier.

So - you want to just give custom title and list post? Is there any condition based on which you want to give section title?

When you use index attribute with [wpv-item] shortcode - the section will be displayed for currently displayed index only.

There is no specific condition so far.
I just want to group a number of posts, say Section 1 = the first 4 posts, Section 2 = the next 5 posts, Section 3 = the following 3 posts etc. I would like to group the posts based on their content.

If there is no condition - then better you should create view's par section and use view's "Limit and Offset" section to limit the number of posts and skip the number of posts.

For example:

<h4>Section tiltle 1</h4>
[wpv-view name="view-1"]   // set limit to 5


<h4>Section tiltle 2</h4>
[wpv-view name="view-2"]   // set limit to 5 and skip 5

<h4>Section tiltle 3</h4>
[wpv-view name="view-3"]   // set limit to 5 and skip 10
