    Hi there
    I re-post this question because in my previous post it was apparently solved, but not at all.
    CoBlocks custom categories DON’T work, with all the themes I tried on my WordPress 5.3.2, including the official theme Twenty Twenty.
    I checked with ll the plugins deactivated – all deactivated, except from CoBlock.
    I tried with the new page and with the new post:
    if I put a Posts Block and if I go to feed settings, Sort by: category
    I can only select All and I don’t have my custom categories
    Custom Categories only works if I select the block “last Posts” (sorry I’m translating the italian version of the plug in: “articoli recenti” hope it is “last post”)
    To sum up:
    CUSTOM CATEGORIES don’t work with
    Post Carousel Block
    Posts Block
    OLNY work with “last posts”
    Hope I have well explained and that you can check and help with this issue!
    many thanks
    Lorenza

    Hi @loregi13,

    Thank you for re-opening this support request. I am pleased to report that a fix has been deployed with CoBlocks V1.23.0 which should correct this issue. Please ensure you are running the latest version and let us know if you are still having issues.

    Best regards,

    Anthony

    Hi @paranoia1906
    can you suggest to the team to test the new version?
    I’m using the official WP theme Twenty Twenty
    I canceled my cache and updated all wp files and plugin
    Nevertheless, I noticed that the Coblock seems to work correctly on the back office side, while, when I split and I go to the URL page I see that the post category does not work and I see all the posts indifferently by the category settled!
    Please check: It seems to be solved but it is not:
    I cannot choose the categories, I cannot choose how many columns.
    Considering that I’m using the Twenty Twenty theme, I think that the team who is working on Coblocks did not solve the issue

    Thank you

    Hi @paranoia1906
    I just canceled the post and redo ex novo the coblock post grid view, selecting by categories, and now it is ok and it displays perfectly.
    Maybe that the old post could not update correctly.
    It is to say that the issue is SOLVED.
    Many thank

    Hi, @loregi13,

    I just tested this with custom categories both in the editor and the front end and I cannot replicate what you describe. When I select a category then view the front-end, the site correctly shows the posts within that category. Similarly, I cannot replicate your report of being unable to use the column control for the posts block. I have tested this with WordPress 5.4 with Twenty Twenty theme. I’ll need more information to see what is going on.

    Do you have an example URL that I could look at and see the front-end? What other plugins are active at the time of your testing? Get a look at my screenshots where I use columns and custom categories on the front-end.

    Editor with column control and custom category.

    Front End.
    https://prnt.sc/rro2b9

    Just those show the categories in action, here is the same page but with a different category filter applied. In this next screenshot please note the controls on the right. Since the post category contains only 2 posts, the column control is limited to 2 posts regardless of the feed settings.

    Front-end
    https://prnt.sc/rro4gm

    Best regards,

    Anthony
