Loop through recent posts from category of current in loop

[etheodore]

Hi team,
i have built out a custom category loop to present children of a term. (https://staging.visitdargo.com.au/dargo-content/things-to-do/)
This works great.

Where i am stumbling is looping through the current items children to output recent posts from the current item (category)

I have been able to access the current item’s ID in the loop using {{dc:archive:id}} but when a looper provider is nested, only the active term ID is output.

What i am essentially trying to achieve is
Category X
Recent Post 1
Recent Post 2
Recent Post 3

Category Y
Recent Post 1
Recent Post 2
Recent Post 3

Hi @etheodore,

Thanks for reaching out.
I have tried in my local environment and achieved what you are trying to do. I would suggest you follow the below steps which I have done.

1. Implement the All Terms type of Looper Provider to the Column named Category Loop.

2. Added the Text element to show the Category Title using {{dc:term:name}}

3. Added a div element and implemented the nested loop of Query String with the following Query

category_name={{dc:term:name}}&post_type=post&posts_per_page=3&offset=0&ignore_sticky_posts=1&post__not_in%5B0%5D={{dc:post:id}}

4. Added a Text element to show the Post Title inside the Div element.

Hope it helps.
Thanks

And this my friends, is the very reason i love developing using this Theme. Nesting that query string on a DIV in the loop with looper consumer activated provided the result required. Appreciate your assistance.
