Title: It doesn’t work anymore (string of code instead of posts) Last modified: March 6, 2022 --- # It doesn’t work anymore (string of code instead of posts) * Resolved [fabykennedy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fabykennedy/) * (@fabykennedy) * [4 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-doesnt-work-anymore-string-of-code-instead-of-posts/) * Good evening. I’ve published a new article today but when I tried to update Posts in Sidebar inserting the article ID, everything crashed. The layout was completely broken. * I tried to uninstall and install it again but no way, it doesn’t work. It’s showing no more the broken layout I experienced earlier, but there are no articles, just a string of code. * You can see the screenshot [here](https://imgur.com/7Uszku0). * Thank you. - This topic was modified 4 years, 1 month ago by [fabykennedy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fabykennedy/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fit-doesnt-work-anymore-string-of-code-instead-of-posts%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [Aldo Latino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aldolat/) * (@aldolat) * [4 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-doesnt-work-anymore-string-of-code-instead-of-posts/#post-15431481) * Hi [@fabykennedy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fabykennedy/), the error is generated by WordPress itself and I’ve never seen this error. * I think you entered some IDs in the relevant field, in order to display some specific articles. If so, please let me know the query, activating the specific option “Display the query for the widget” in the Debug section. * Thread Starter [fabykennedy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fabykennedy/) * (@fabykennedy) * [4 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-doesnt-work-anymore-string-of-code-instead-of-posts/#post-15431675) * Thanks for the answer.

If you use IDs directly, there is no need to setup a taxonomy. If you setup a taxonomy along with IDs, only the posts with those IDs and under that taxonomy will be displayed. try removing the category from the query and disable the cache for the moment. * Thread Starter [fabykennedy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fabykennedy/) * (@fabykennedy) * [4 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-doesnt-work-anymore-string-of-code-instead-of-posts/#post-15431737) * I don’t think I set up any category, I just inserted the IDs. * > try removing the category from the query and disable the cache for the moment. * Can you tell me how to do it? * Thread Starter [fabykennedy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fabykennedy/) * (@fabykennedy) * [4 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-doesnt-work-anymore-string-of-code-instead-of-posts/#post-15431795) * All right I solved everything simply setting up the articles through the “Customize” button. In other words I didn’t make my edits using the control panel menu. I really can’t say what happened before when I added that ID but I’m glad everything is ok now.
