I have an Ess. Grid that has categories, and sometimes there aren’t enough loaded categories to display, and you have to click ‘load more’ to get more of the category. Is there a way to hook into the API call to force a load more? Or would this question be better suited to Essential Grid Directly?
Hello @jrhager84,
Thanks for writing in!
Please edit your grid and in the page option insert -1 so that all the posts will be displayed and no longer a “Load More” button below.
Hope this helps. Please let us know how it goes.
That doesn’t technically help me, as there’s a theoretical maximum that initially load. So I believe 6 of the most recent load, in whichever order date-wise (so the categories change, and can be uneven in spread). But when you click a particular category for sorting, there may be only 1 that’s on-screen at the moment.
Right now, it just only shows that one post that’s initially there, and you have to click ‘load more’ to get more to load. If it’s unfortunate and no posts in that category initially are loaded, it’s blank with a load more button.
That doesn’t look good. I’d like for it to query for all category posts when each one is selected. That way, it always fills the maximum initial load (the first 6 or so). Then you can click ‘load more’ as intended.
Maybe that explains it more.
I’m just also annoyed that I’ve had to pay their support team twice now because their documentation is awful for their API calls, and they won’t even let you email without having a ‘current’ license.
Hey @jrhager84,
Essential Grid’s uses “surface” filtering only. That means it shows what is available in the page. It does not fetch from the server via AJAX. It’s the pagination that does the loading of post. Only then can you “surface” filter again.
Regretfully, I don’t see an AJAX filtering option in the Essential Grid which is the one you need. Using their API or custom code, you will need to contact ThemePunch support directly.
Personally, I’d use FacetWP for this type of post display. Just note that this is not a recommendation. I’m just sharing an idea.
Hope that helps and thank you for understanding.
