Hi,

Sorry for the late response, we were on a short family vacation.

Make sure, that the results count is set correctly. Also, any exclusions/filters also apply when the auto populate process is executed. In case you have any category/tag/date/custom field or other restrictions, then it could affect it.

Best regards,

Result count is correct. Or do you mean it has to be exactly 10?

I do have categories? What do you mean by restrictions and how does it affect it?

Hi!

No, you can set any limit there if you want, the default is set to 10.

Restrictions can be filters set on the Front-end search settings panel, or exclusions set on the Advanced -> Exclude/include results panel.
Frontend search filters
Excluding/Including results
If you cannot find something, or it is not helping, you can open a support ticket, and I will take a look at your configuration.

Hi,

Thank you very much for the proper details, it helped me a lot.

The issue was, that you had a category filter active, and the ‘Blog’ category was selected by default. Because there are only 2 posts within the ‘Blog’ category, the plugin displayed only those results.

I have made the following change, so that by default none of the categories is selected within the filter at first: https://i.imgur.com/ewPcHYj.png

Now, it will display the latest results as configured.
