 * [@jules22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jules22/) thank you. If you set
   the “Number of items to offset” to 0, you should see all the latest posts. With
   it set to 14 like in your screenshot, it’ll skip the 14 most recent posts.

   make sure your browser cache is cleared, and if you have any caching plugins 
   on your site or any caching on your web host, can you also check those?

 * [@gretchenlouise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gretchenlouise/) if you’re
   running the Gutenberg plugin, deactivating it will fix the problem. The fix made
   it into WordPress, but hasn’t made it in the Gutenberg plugin yet. The Gutenberg
   plugin is not required for running Atomic Blocks.

 * Howdy, folks. I just tested the 5.5.1 release candidate posted [here](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/08/27/wordpress-5-5-1-rc1/)
   and it fixes the issue. If all goes well with the RC, we should see 5.5.1 released
   on Tuesday.

 * Hi all,
 * This looks like a bug introduced in WP 5.5, where they removed a function we 
   rely on to save the category. The bug is captured in the Gutenberg repo here:
   [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/24516](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/24516)
 * We’re looking into alternatives while we wait.

 * The theme calls a function named `atomic_blocks_title_logo()` to display the 
   logo, which then uses the WordPress function called `the_custom_logo()` to display
   the logo. That WP function automatically links to the site’s homepage.
 * A couple ways you can handle this.
 * 1) Redefine the `atomic_blocks_title_logo()` function in your child theme’s functions.
   php. The Atomic Blocks theme checks to see if that function exists before defining
   it, which means you can override it in your child theme.
 * 2) The WordPress core function called `the_custom_logo()` passes the HTML of 
   the logo and link through a filter right before displaying it. That filter is
   named `get_custom_logo`.
 * Either method should work. The first is probably easier, especially since you’ve
   already edited that function directly and understand the changes you need to 
   make. You could port over your customizations to the redefined function in your
   child theme’s functions.php file.

 * Hi [@fredwbaker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fredwbaker/), I’m not able
   to reproduce this error.
 * Does this still happen if you temporarily deactivate all other plugins except
   Atomic Blocks and switch to the Twenty Twenty theme?
 * Also can you show me a screenshot of the Post and Page Grid Settings that you
   have in the sidebar?

   sharing the video. I can’t reproduce the behavior you’re seeing. Do you have 
   any other plugins activated on the site? Can you test by temporarily deactivating
   all plugins except Atomic Blocks and switching to the default Twenty Twenty theme?
