    Site works as intended while running Post Grid Combo version 2.1.24. When I attempt to update it to the current version (2.2.43), I get doubled images in the grid. A little Inspector-ing in Chrome shows that the second image is surfacing in the “layer-content” div.

    Here’s what div.layer-content looks like in 2.1.24:

    And here it is in 2.2.43:

    The image above in 2.2.43 is contained in div.layer-media (as it is in 2.1.24 as well:

    Hoping to learn this either a) this is a bug that can be addressed in a future version, so I can resume keeping this plugin up to date, or b) this is something I can fix easily in my grid setup, rather than rebuilding my grid from scratch (it’s been a few years and I’m busy, aren’t we all ?? )

    Any other info needed, happy to collect it!

  • Hi @heychrisseale,
    I can’t see the double images on your given link. Did you fix the issue?!

    Anyway, from our layout-builder, you can customize your layout to resolve this kind of issue. Kindly follow my instruction –

    First, go to the Edit mode of your post grid.

    Then under Layouts, look for the layout you’re using and go to the Edit mode.

    Now on the editor, you can easily add or remove an element and update your layout.

    Hello, thank you for the quick response, and for giving me the step-by-step breakdown! I had reverted it to 2.1.24 to suppress the issue while not actively troubleshooting.

    I’ve re-updated back to the current version, and followed your directions to look for the element that’s causing the doubled image, but I’m not seeing an obvious candidate. Far as I can tell, it’s just using Layout-Flat, which looks fine in the Layout Editor preview:

    … but shows doubled on the site:

    When I dig a little deeper with Inspector, I can see where the image is getting injected a second time in the content div:

    … but I don’t understand why that’s happening (not desired) in 2.2.43 when it wasn’t in 2.1.24.

    Here’s a pdf of the Layout Editor view with all the fields expanded, in case that sheds any light:

    I will leave 2.2.43 in place so you’ll have an opportunity to see this behavior live. Thanks again for your attention!

    Please delete the first three elements and save the layout.

    Let us know the update.

    All right, I did that, cleared browser and server caches, and now I’m even more puzzled, because the issue persists. I think the effect of what you had me do ought to have been that the div.layer-media would no longer be there, but it still show in the inspector.

    Which then leads me to think I wasn’t editing the actually active layout, but I don’t see which other one it could be… the only layouts are the six that came by default:

    For good measure, I removed the same top three elements from the other five default layouts, and cleared caches again. Still same symptoms. I am really puzzled. Any ideas?

    Hold up, I think I’ve got a lead. I broke it in a different way, but it’s given me a couple threads to pull. Stand down and stay tuned ??

    All right yes, I’ve resolved it.

    For potential future googlers, here’s how: after the plugin update, what I needed to do was come into Layouts for the affected Post Grid and just re-select Layout-Flat and save. You can see in this cap that it has “Empty layout” selected:

    Once I clicked on the circled layout to select it, then saved, all is now well; no more doubled images.

    Thank you once again for your quick support! Wonderful and beyond expectations for a free user. Which, incidentally, in the process of troubleshooting this, I discovered that the paid version has search and filtering, which are on the wishlist for this site, so you’ve probably made a sale in the process. As it should be ??

    Wow..great work!
    Glad to know you’ve fixed the issue.

    If you’re using WordPress Gutenberg editor, then try out our post grid block to create your grid. You’ll love it!

    The site’s in Divi, but whenever the next major overhaul comes due, it’s clear that Gutenberg has become robust enough not to obviate the need for a third-party framework. Seeing plugin developers like you embrace Gutenberg blocks so enthusiastically just adds to my confidence in it! Thanks for the pointer.
