Random Category Blog repeats articles in pagination

Post by GroupLands » Sat Jan 28, 2023 1:27 am

I wonder if anyone has a solution for this?
I have a Random Category Blog layout with pagination. The trouble is that when I go to the 2nd page in pagination it repeats some of the pages from page 1, as if it re-randomizes the selection. The problem is some of the pages then do not get shown.
You can see what I mean here: https://brand.grouplands.com/logo-design

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Hi. This is not a standard blog layout from Joomla. Your template developer overrided the blog layout. I think his idea was that on each page there was an even number of items to fill the entire grid. Therefore, some items are repeated on the next page. You should contact the template developer.

The template developer says it's not them:
"That’s just standard Joomla functionality so please ask about this on joomla.org forum - it’s nothing to do with any RT products... Helium does not contain any HTML override for blog layouts in Joomla. If you have one then you must have created it so just delete it - Gantry Helium does not provide such an override." (RocketTheme Forum Support)

I have not created an override. Does anyone else have a suggestion?
