Web stories getting showcased twice

@ouchmytoe Hi there! What method did you use to embed the story on your page? Did you use the classic editor or Gutenberg block?

We could also check to see if there is a conflicting theme/plugin. Could you please provide your Site Health information? You can share privately if you prefer.

Note that https://thebettervacation.com/web-stories/ is an archives page as provided by WordPress by default and as designed by your theme.

Your theme displays contents in archives with both their featured image (cover image) and an excerpt.

What the Web Stories plugin does it replaces the excerpt with the story player. Hence you see the these things twice.

Here’s what I’d recommend to do to improve this:

– First, reach out to the theme developer to ask them about improving the archives layout for web stories

– Second, add the following CSS to your Additional CSS section in the customizer to change the layout yourself in the meantime:

To hide the cover image:

.post-type-archive-web-story .type-web-story .post-gallery { display: none; }

To hide the title:

.post-type-archive-web-story .type-web-story .post-title { display: none; }

To hide the interactive story player:

.post-type-archive-web-story .type-web-story .post-excerpt { display: none; }

Apply them as you see fit.

Thank you @swissspidy. It worked.

Will get a permanent fix from the theme developer!

@ouchmytoe Happy to hear that it worked. We will mark this as resolved. Thanks again for reaching out with your topic.
