 * The child loop will be used instead of the Parent Loop.
 * You can reproduce the bug by:
 * 1. Creating a Parent Loop and Child Loop
    2. Insert the child loop into the Parent
   loop through post widget. 3. In the page editor, add a post widget then use the
   Parent loop as custom skin. 4. The Post will only show 1 post because the next
   post will be using the Child Loop as skin instead of the Parent Loop.

 * Thank you so much. Or if you know a tweak on how to stop the child loop of overlapping
   the parent loop then that will be a great help.

 * The ECS (Elementor Custom Skin) is a Skin for Posts and Archive Posts. The issue
   is related to posts widget and not the skin. Post wasn’t build with nested themes
   in mind.
 * I’ve tried to diferentiate the two template skins beetween them based on the 
   page are loded but it seems Posts widget is not allowing me to see where the 
   skin is called from, so bummer I can’t do anything about it.
 * What is my advice:
 * – Get another plugin that can create custom skin (i.e. [https://www.elementoraddons.com/anywhere-elementor-pro/post-blocks/](https://www.elementoraddons.com/anywhere-elementor-pro/post-blocks/))
   –
   Try to see if that module works with nested loop – If not, use ECS as a loop 
   and the other as the parent, or the other way around.
 * This is the best I can do for you.
