Split: SOS: Vote help needed immediately

    Hi,

    The vote block is not working on my WP site, https://animedouble.wordpress.com/

    When you vote, it does not record the vote on Crowdsignal. I just created this and there are zero signals used.

    Someone noted that there was an error in the code but this is a drag and drop widget; I didn’t write any code.

    I’m using the most current version of Chrome and tried on my Apple 8 phone too.

    Any ideas?

    Hi there,

    I’ve moved your comment to its own thread – even if you think your issue is related, it’s always better to create a new thread rather than posting on an old thread that was resolved weeks ago :)

    In this case the issue isn’t related to that other thread.

    Your vote block isn’t working because of how it has been added inside a Query Loop block in your page – the Query Loop block is not meant to be used on static pages at all, but is instead used in Templates you create in the Site editor, to display a list of your posts on a particular page, like the Posts page or a category archive page.

    To fix this, remove the Query Loop block from your page, and just insert your content directly. When you’re doing that I also recommend simplifying your block structure in that page a bit: you currently have multiple levels of column blocks before it eventually gets to your images, and that might cause issues with editing the page going forward.

    Here’s what I mean. This is how your page is currently set up:

    Try getting it to something more like this:

    https://d.pr/i/f2oGXF

    The page title and comments sections are handled by the Page template for the theme, so no need to add those blocks to the page itself. If you want comments enabled on the page, just switch that on under the Discussion section in the settings (indicated by an arrow in that screen shot).

    If you want the date to show you can keep that block, but pages are meant to be “permanent” content on a site, so usually don’t display the publication date.

    The Pagination, Post Categories and Post Tags blocks won’t work on a page like your homepage, as they only work on single blog posts, so there isn’t any reason to use them here.

    Let me know if you have any questions.
