Title: Query Loop Repeating Itself Last modified: July 6, 2022 --- # Query Loop Repeating Itself * Resolved [Sy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sy99/) * (@sy99) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-loop-repeating-itself/) * Hi there! * I’ve ran into a issue with the query loop. I’m creating a content block using Elements and displaying it on my posts page. The content is just the query loop showing the latest posts. On the backend all is good but when I look at it on the frontend the query loop has been repeated 5 times. * Any idea where I’m going wrong!? * Many thanks Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Support [ying](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yingscarlett/) * (@yingscarlett) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-loop-repeating-itself/#post-15803078) * Hi there, * Any chance you can provide the link to your posts page so we can have a better understanding of the issue? * Thanks! * [ellismedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellismedia/) * (@ellismedia) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-loop-repeating-itself/#post-15837847) * I think you might have answered this question elsewhere Ying as I’ve been trying to understand this as well. * [https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/archive-page-with-query-loop-added-via-content-element-displays-posts-repeatedly/](https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/archive-page-with-query-loop-added-via-content-element-displays-posts-repeatedly/) * The content you build in Block element – Content template will apply to every post in the loop of your archive page as a template, that’s why it repeats. * Plugin Support [ying](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yingscarlett/) * (@yingscarlett) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-loop-repeating-itself/#post-15843409) * If you add a query loop block in a block element – content template( a premium feature of GeneratePress theme), that will be the reason. * But I’ll still need to inspect your site to know what’s going on 🙂 - This reply was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by [ying](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yingscarlett/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by [ying](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yingscarlett/). * [benhamdam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benhamdam/) * (@benhamdam) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-loop-repeating-itself/#post-16038004) * Im having this trouble too: [https://weserhalle.com/news/](https://weserhalle.com/news/) * Any advice? - This reply was modified 3 years, 8 months ago by [benhamdam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benhamdam/). * Plugin Support [ying](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yingscarlett/) * (@yingscarlett) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-loop-repeating-itself/#post-16038956) * Hi [@benhamdam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benhamdam/) * 1. You are not using GB’s query loop block, it’s WP’s query loop block. * 2. You’ve added the WP’s query loop block inside a content template, that’s the reason why it repeats. * In the content template block element, there should only be one post template. You can not use a query loop block. * As the content template block element is a GP Premium feature, I’m not going to talk about it more. If you have questions regarding this feature, please kindly open a support topic in GeneratePress’s premium support forum 🙂 * Thread Starter [Sy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sy99/) * (@sy99) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-loop-repeating-itself/#post-16039059) * I found that going to: Settings > Reading then change the Blog pages show at most to 1, that sorted the problem. * I think the GB query loop uses the number you enter in to ‘Blog pages show at most’ as the number of times it repeats the query loop. * Hope that makes sense! * Plugin Support [ying](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yingscarlett/) * (@yingscarlett) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-loop-repeating-itself/#post-16040771) * Well, that could be a workaround. [@sy99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sy99/) * But really, query loop block should NOT be used as a content template. * [fernandoazarcon2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fernandoazarcon2/) * (@fernandoazarcon2) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-loop-repeating-itself/#post-16311740) * Hi there!
