Title: Query Loop Builder: Container Link Failure Last modified: January 19, 2023 --- # Query Loop Builder: Container Link Failure * Resolved [TrekRight](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trekright/) * (@trekright) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-loop-builder-container-link-failure/) * I’m using a Container inside the body of a Query Loop Builder (QLB). That container has a dynamic link property that links to the post permalink. I have the fetch count of the QLB set to the default 12. * The problem is that only the first 12 posts have a correct link. From post #13 onwards, all posts have a fixed link corresponding to whatever link was used when the container link was first assigned in the container block’s properties. * If I change the fetch count value, for example to 16, then the links will be correct for the first 16 posts and then fail after that. Thus, it appears that something is going wrong with the way the permalink is obtained whenever additional fetches are done. * Note: neither the Dynamic Post Image or Dynamic Post Title blocks are suitable for my purposes here since the underlying posts aren’t using the feature image or post title properties.  Thus, the only way I can get a link for each post is by wrapping the Query Loop Builder’s children in a container and setting the container’s link dynamically to the post permalink. * DETAILED REPRODUCE STEPS 1. Create a new post. 2. Add a Container block and within the container add an Advanced Text. For testing purposes, just leave the text at its default value. 3. In the Container’s properties, set the Container Link to use a Dynamic Url and click on ‘Post Permalink’. 4. Outside of the Container, add a Query Loop Builder block. 5. Leave the QLB’s properties at their default settings except under Data Settings, where Pagination Type should be set to Infinite Scroll. 6. Inside the QLB, replace all the existing blocks with the Container created previously. 7. Save the post and display it on the front end. * EXPECTED: * Each post returned by the query would have a link to the underlying post (i.e. the permalink would be linked). * ACTUAL: * The first 12 returned posts will correctly have the permalink of the underlying post. All other returned posts will have the permalink of the new post in which you added the Query Loop Builder.

Please confirm – thanks! * Plugin Author [wpsoul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsoul/) * (@wpsoul) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-loop-builder-container-link-failure/#post-16415132) * Dynamic fields will not work in Ajax requests, you must use only dynamic blocks there. Why do you need container link for query loop? * Thread Starter [TrekRight](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trekright/) * (@trekright) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-loop-builder-container-link-failure/#post-16415373) * As noted above, the contents of my query loop do not draw upon either the feature image or the post title. Thus, I cannot use either of the two dynamic blocks ( Dynamic Post Image or Dynamic Post Title). Also, I want the entire ‘card’ to be a link rather than just the title.  Note that within the loop all of my content is obtained via the Meta getter block. The problem is purely obtaining a link back to the underlying post. * I don’t think this is an issue with Ajax requests given that it works entirely correctly so long as the infinite scroll is not involved. For example, look at this page: * [http://trekopedia.com/lycian-way-communities-5/](http://trekopedia.com/lycian-way-communities-5/) * This page works, with each card correctly being a link to the underlying post. But it only works because I set the fetch count to 80 (there are 71 posts returned by this query). If the fetch count was 12, then every post returned after the first 12 would have an incorrect link. This sounds like something wrong with the way infinite scroll works since the query itself is obviously working fine. * Any help you can provide with this would be appreciated. * Also, a question regarding containers inside a query loop: the Container Link property has an option to link to the post permalink. What purpose does this serve if the container link shouldn’t be used inside a query loop?? * Plugin Author [wpsoul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsoul/) * (@wpsoul) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-loop-builder-container-link-failure/#post-16415411) * Infinite scroll works via Ajax. Dynamic fields can’t get ajax context like Dynamic blocks, so they will not work in Ajax. We can add Container link option directly in Query builder if you need, but you must understand that Container link means that everything inside each item will be link, so any inner links (categories, wishlist and other linkable elements will not work) * Thread Starter [TrekRight](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trekright/) * (@trekright) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-loop-builder-container-link-failure/#post-16415539) * Ah, I think I understand now. If it can be added easily, a Container link option would be very useful for my use case (where links insider the container are not required).
