Post Type Grid widget's pagination does not work on Home page. It changes the URL but actual posts remain same.

@Vishakha-Patel @rodica-andronache what options do I need to choose (and what theme to use) to reproduce this?

[Vishakha-Patel]

@contactashish13 You can use any theme. Try with Hestia.

Edit its Homepage with Elementor plugin. Add "Post Type Grid" widget and turn on "Pagination" option.

When you'll check this, posts on the second page won't come.

For example, see the pagination on this website - http://natoriousb.com/ from the ticket.

@contactashish13 from what I've tested, with this change, the pagination is working on the frontpage, but when used on an internal page, is not. Could you please take a look?

@rodica-andronache that was indeed a problem. have fixed it. PR: Codeinwp/elementor-extra-widgets#10

[rodica-andronache]

@contactashish13 thanks 👍 it indeed works on all pages now. But on posts is still not working

[contactashish13]

@rodica-andronache Its working for me. Can you list down the exact steps to reproduce this problem?

[rodica-andronache]

@contactashish13 just install OBFX (latest version) , create a post and in that post, add the post grid ( with the post type : post ) , and the navigation is not working

@rodica-andronache I tried the steps with post type post as well as a custom post type and it seems to be working fine. A post is an internal page so there is no reason for it not to work.

Can you check if custom post types work fine?

[rodica-andronache]

@contactashish13 I checked with a custom post type too. Still not working. Are you sure you've tested on a post, not a page?
I'm asking because I think that's the reasons is not working, because it's interfering with the posts loop

[contactashish13]

@rodica-andronache yes it was with a post and a custom post type.

@rodica-andronache I see the problem and its very strange that I cannot replicate it on my dev instance with the same version of Elementor.

[rodica-andronache]

yes, it's weird it's working for you. Be sure to have also the latest version of OBFX

[contactashish13]

latest version of OBFX and of Elementor, same version of WP - but different behavior!

[rodica-andronache]

ok, you can try on a different instance maybe? It's clear there is a problem :D
