How to implement a dynamic Elementor Loop

    Hello guys,

    I have two questions regarding the url I submitted:

    1. I am trying to show an Elementor Loop below the blue area at the top on all pages I generate with the multi page generation plugin. The Elementor Loop I have set up (and shows in the Elementor preview) is not showing on the generated pages though. There is no dynamic condition on the Loop and no CSS which could hide the Loop neither.

    2. As I am generated alternative pages for tools like Zoom, Google Meet etc. and these tools can be rated from 1 to 5, I would like to visualize average which is saved in the mpg field {{mpg_star_rating}}. So, if a tool has an average rating of 3, three stars should be shown. If the average rating is 3.5, 3.5 stars should be shown. Right now, an elementor rating scale element from 1-5 is used to display the stars. But this element does not provide a possibility to set {{mpg_star_rating}}. Do you have ideas?

    Looking forward to your replys!

    Regards
    Thomas

    Depending on the settings I set in the custom loop, I see review alternatives in the template. But if I preview the alternative pages with the plugin, I do not see them. The elementor container contains the css class “nothing-found”, but I clearly see results in the template.

    I pretty much got what I wanted to have meanwhile, THOUGH the elementor loop which I setup still only shows in the backend. As soon as I visit the live page, the loop does not show. If I choose different configurations, the loop shows in the template AND on the live page. But those configurations are not what I would like to show.

    Any ideas?

    Hi @thesongoku,

    Thanks for choosing MPG!

    What configurations do you use when the loop is displayed and what changes when it isn’t shown anymore?

    Thank you!

    Hi @luciamarinescu,

    thank you for your reply!

    When I set an Elementor Loop query as follows, I get to see data:

    Query
    Reviews (our custom post type I want to get a list of 8 entries from)
    Included by –> Term
    Term –> Review Kategorien: Affiliate Marketing (this is ONE of like 50 categories we got, which are assigned to those entries).

    The thing is, if I set the query like that, EVER page will show the same tools, which is neither right (because I am building alternative pages) nor senseful (internal linking etc.).

    If I get rid of “Included by: Term” I just get a random list of Reviews, which works as expected but is not what I want to achive.

    I miss the option to get Reviews (our cpt) by the categorie the current Review viewed is in. Like, if I am on the alternative page for Zoom, I would like to see alternatives from the Kategorie “Video conferencing”.

    This does not seem to be an MPG problem in the first place but rather an Elementor topic for extending their tool. But I do not thing they gonna extend their tool for ONE customers custom usecase.

    The other option would be to build this loop by myself though (and to make sure it is responsive on all devices).

    Regarding your question with the display: I had this problem on our staging environment. Since I had to mirror our live environment on our staging environment, I miss a few tiny things in elementor including the option to just use “Review Kategorien” (review categories) in the elementor query. Before the merge, I had that option and saw the results on the template but NOT on the generated page.

    Hi @thesongoku!

    You mentioned that the loop is properly displayed in the editor but it doesn’t appear on the published site. Did you try to check the site from a different device or clear the cache (browser and plugin, if you use a caching plugin)? If this doesn’t help, please provide us the URL to a page where the issue can be seen since the link you provided in the first message redirects to a 404 page.

    Thank you!
