 * Hello [@digstertron](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digstertron/) Sure, 
   but I need more information to be able to even guess what the issue is.
    - Can you share a link?

 * Hi, this is my code inside the default.php template file:
 * <?php $_posts = new WP_Query($args);?>
 * <main class=”fullwidth-blog”>
 * <div class=”bloglist”>
 * <?php while($_posts->have_posts()): $_posts->the_post();?>
 * <div class=”blog_list_outter”>
 * <div class=”post-grid”>
 * <h2 class=”blog_heading”>
 * <a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a>
 * </h2>
 * </div>
 * <div class=”blog_author”>
 * <div class=”author_image”><?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta(‘ID’), 60);?
   ></div>
 * <div class=”author-profile-post”><?php the_author_posts_link();?></div>
 * </div>
 * <div class=”category_title”>
 * <div class=”category__list__card”>
 * <p class=”cat”>
 * <?php the_category(‘, ‘); ?>
 * </p>
 * </div>
 * <div class=”post__stamp”>
 * <?php the_time(‘F j, Y’); ?>
 * </div>
 * </div>
 * </div>
 * <?php endwhile; ?>
 * </div>
 * </main>

 * Ok this is incorrect.
 * Here are a few docs to get started with the plugin.

 * Ajax Load More creates a query for you, so you need to remove that remove your
   Repeater Template.

 * Your Repeater Template would be what’s between the `while` and `endwhile` in 
   that template.

 * If I remove the query the posts do not load and I have been through the documentation
   and followed the steps so I’m really at a total loss.

 * That’s how the plugin works and you’re using it incorrectly.
 * Please revert your Repeater Template to the default.

 * Create a new page and drop the basic Ajax Load More shortcode onto it using the
   shortcode block.

 * The problem with using the default code is I am using custom CSS for my Blog 
   layout. The basic repeater template code works but visually it’s not matching
   my theme.

 * Yes I know. You said “_If I remove the query the posts do not load_“. 
   Im asking
   you test the default to see if anything loads.

 * The default template works perfectly but when I apply custom CSS rules they are
   not being honoured specifically – .alm-listing .alm-reveal behaves of its own
   accord. My blog posts are displayed within a two column grid which Ajax is ignoring
   for the custom generated posts.

 * Apologies I realised I hadn’t set the transition container correctly. Sorry for
   the back and forth and many thanks for your help.
