ALM Template Loading Duplicate Loops on Single Page

Replies: 0

Hello!

I’ve set up ALM on my site and have it working ‘correctly’ within the template regarding the theme and shortcode. The issue I’ve run into is that, when the page loads, it generates multiple, identical loops.

The infinite scrolling or Load More buttons still work, so I know that the core functionality of the plugin is working. The original loop was working correctly before activating the plugin as well.

Below is the code for the loop and the shortcode. The Repeater Template just contains the content for the generating the post excerpts. I can post a version of that if needed, but the template itself seems to be working.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you might be able to provide or documentation I might have missed.

Loop w/shortcode

<?php 
    $args = array('orderby'=>'date', 'order'=>'DESC');

    query_posts($args);
    if ( have_posts() ) :
        
	// Start the Loop.
        while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

            	echo do_shortcode( '[ajax_load_more post_type="news_post" posts_per_page="12"]' );

        // Ending the general news archive loop.
        endwhile;
        
    endif;
?>
