# Multiple posts load as one post, in wrong order

 * Trying to use ALM to load excerpts of up to 11 posts on my home page. Should 
   be 7 that appear on page load, then 4 more load when you scroll to the bottom.
   Right now ALM seems to be loading all 11 as one post, so using offset=”7″ in 
   this case does nothing. On top of that, the posts that do load are not even the
   most recent, but older.
 * Here is the relevant code from the home page, with shortcode:
 *     ```
       <div id="scroll-container">
          <?php 
             echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more post_type="post" posts_per_page="11" category__not_in="11,16,17,18,20,21,22" offset="7" scroll_container="#scroll-container" transition="fade" destroy_after="11" orderby="date" order="DESC"]');
          ?>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * And here is my Repeater Template (each post within its own Bootstrap panel):
 *     ```
       <div class="panel panel-info home-load-panel">
         <div class="panel-heading">
           <div class="panel-title">
             <div class="label label-primary"><?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) { echo strtoupper($category->cat_name); } ?></div>
               <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
       	  <small><?php
       	     foreach( (get_the_category() ) as $category) {
       		  if ($category->term_id == 6) {
       		     echo 'by ' . get_the_author();
       		  }
       	     }
       	  ?></small>
             </div>
           </div>
           <div class="panel-body alignleft">
       	<?php
       	  if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
       	    the_post_thumbnail(
       		'small', array(
       		   'align' => 'left',
       		   'style' => 'padding-right:7px',
                          'class' => 'img-responsive'
       		)
       	     );
       	   }
       	  the_excerpt();
       	?>
   
       	<p class="pull-right">
       	   <?php
       		foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
       		  if ($category->term_id == 1) {
       		     $get_btn_language = 'the full story';
       		  }
       		   elseif ($category->term_id == 6) {
       		     $get_btn_language = 'the blog post';
       		  }
       		   else {
       		     $get_btn_language = 'more';
       		  }
       	        }
       	   ?>
       	   <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="btn btn-primary">Read <?php echo $get_btn_language; ?> <i class="fa fa-long-arrow-right"></i></a>
       	</p>
         </div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Is there a way to get ALM to recognize each panel/post as a single post and not
   just one post consisting of 11 items?

 * Hi [@jhonn0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jhonn0/),
    Without actually 
   viewing the site it sounds like you may be loading Ajax Load More inside the 
   previous loop?
 * Is there anyway you could share a link so I can have a look at the issue?

 * Thanks for your attention — I’ve been testing this only locally so far, but will
   try to get it up on a dev server this evening.
 * However, I did remove the previous loop from the code. Funny enough, while trying
   things out, I included the previous WP loop in both the page code and the ALM
   Repeater Template to see what would happen. It still loaded all 11 panels as 
   1 post, but they were the correct/most current posts.

 * Hi [@jhonn0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jhonn0/),
    Not sure what’s going
   on then… Hopefully will be able to get the site up on dev so I can review. If
   you dont want to post the link here you can open a support ticket. [https://connekthq.com/plugins/ajax-load-more/support/](https://connekthq.com/plugins/ajax-load-more/support/)

 * Apologies for the delay; the page can be found [here](https://cherish-staging.ogo.to/).
 * Hope it can help. It is still loading the wrong group of posts, and all 11 at
   once — only 7 should load when the page loads, and 4 more when you scroll to 
   the bottom.
 * I did notice that some functionality improved when in Settings I changed from
   Infinite Scroll to a “Load more” button, in that clicking the button did load
   more posts every time you click it, but that seems to disregard that the shortcode
   has an offset=7 and posts_per_page=11.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@jhonn0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jhonn0/),
    No worries. When 
   I inspect the page i can see posts_per_page is set to 11 and being ordered by
   DATE DESC.
 * I didn’t notice your initial post but your shortcode should be the following.
 *     ```
        echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more post_type="post" posts_per_page="7" category__not_in="11,16,17,18,20,21,22" offset="7" scroll_container="#scroll-container" transition="fade" destroy_after="2" orderby="date" order="DESC"]');
       ```
   
 * Load 7 posts per page and destroy ALM after page #2.
 * Let me know if this helps.

 * Thank you, this was a big help.
    The catch is that the additional posts do not
   load via infinite scroll, only with a load-more button; the main problem there
   is that when the page loads, before the posts load you see that button just sitting
   there at the top. See [here](https://cherish-staging.ogo.to/)
 * Is there anything I should look out for to change that?
 * Otherwise, I misunderstood the use of offset… by removing it I was able to load
   the correct/most recent posts.

 * Right, for this you have two options.
 * You could create a custom query that runs before ALM or you could use the [Preloaded add-on](https://connekthq.com/plugins/ajax-load-more/add-ons/preloaded/)
   which loads posts before ALM and allows you to change the amount loaded.
 * Hope this solves that for you 🙂

 * Got it! But just to be clear, does it sound like an error that the infinite scroll
   feature isn’t working but the button does? Or is that part of what Preloaded 
   would be for?

 * No error. It’s not working because you have `display: none;` on the load more
   button which is the trigger.
 * Also try setting `scroll_distance="0"` in your shortcode.
