    This time we have identified a bug with setting Max Posts in the Loop Grid. After one of the recent updates, the value of Max Posts in the Loop Grid widget is ignored and all posts are displayed despite a set value of 4.

    This used to work properly, but recently you have been updating all widgets. The number of updates every time looks like AI was involved. so at some point it did not do the job well and now Max Posts value in Loop Grid and most likely all similar widgets is ignored. But I have noticed it only in this one, as I use it on several websites and after the last series of updates now all websites display all posts, not the number that is set. Nothing has changed on my end, just your software got updated.

    I have analysed the code and Max Posts is not even part of the widget code, so it is somewhere in parent classes as {$postType}_maxitems. I am now trying to trace where Max Posts should be converted onto the actual number of displayed posts in the grid.

    So far I have found that in some of your files there is a value of “limit” and in others “posts_per_page, but so far no luck trying to find out exactly where Max Posts is not converted to “posts_per_page” and used in the grid widget. But I am a user paying for the software. It is not my role to point exactly where the bug is. So this is a case for your developers then.

    Hi @mariusz_m

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    We’ve tested the Max Posts option in the Loop Grid widget on our end, and it appears to be working as expected. The issue you’re experiencing may be caused by a conflict with a third-party plugin that is modifying the post query.

    To help identify this, please try the following:

    • Go to the widget settings:
      Content > Post Pagination and Filtering > Enable Post Filtering
    • Then enable the “Disable Third Party Modifications” option.

    This setting prevents external plugins from altering the post query. If enabling it resolves the issue, that would confirm a conflict with another plugin.

    Please let us know the results, and we’ll be happy to assist further based on what you find.

    Thanks!
