I’m sure this was working fine on previous versions of Elements, but now when clicking the _Load more_ button, the browser console shows repeated errors like:

_Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()  
Error loading more items: Error: HTTP error! status: 400_

Also the post **author** leads to a _no item found_. All work as expected locally but not on my server with php 8.4. I’m testing with the **Appleseed Daily** project, uploaded below:

Hey @Lucas,

We’ve had no other reports of this and all is working fine here. If you share the project via Elements Cloud, we can take a look for you…

We also have the free Microblog project in the store you might want to take a look at 🙂

Hey @dan

The project is yours Appleseed Daily, I didn’t changed a thing. I’ve looked at the Marketplace and the **Pavyon Blog** from Templays is showing the same error when clicking on the _View all_ button.

Could not find the Microblog you mentioned 🤔

It’s in the built-in store, give that a go:

Unfortunately the same errors and _Load more_ not working using the Microblog project as well:

[https://archetypon.net/preview/elements/microblog/](https://archetypon.net/preview/elements/microblog/)

Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but fact is that it works locally but not when uploaded. I’ve talked to **DreamHost** support, here’s their answer:

_This indicates the request to the following endpoint is being rejected by  
the server due to invalid or incomplete data:_

rw/elements/com.realmac.corepack/api/index.php/cms/collections/items

_Since this functionality works in your local environment, it’s likely  
that the issue is related to differences in site configuration or missing  
parameters in the API request on the live server._

_Additionally, because this endpoint is part of a custom CMS integration  
and the server is responding correctly with a 400, this confirms that the  
issue is not due to DreamHost’s hosting environment, the request is  
simply being rejected by the app-level API._

_We recommend reviewing the request payload being sent to that endpoint  
and ensuring that any required parameters (like collection ID or  
pagination values) are correctly passed. It’s also worth checking for any  
environment-specific configurations or hardcoded URLs that might differ  
between local and live setups._

Load More has not worked for me for some time now, either.

I remember @ben mentioning something about some problems with Chillidog based on changes they had made after their attack. But clearly that has not yet been fixed, as I still cannot get Load More to work.

I should add this works in Preview but not on the live site.

Yep _Load more_ work as expected locally, but not when uploaded to the server.

What about the author link in the blog? This does not work either.

Thanks, we’ll dig into this today!

The fact it works locally and NOT on the server, points to a server configuration issue. However we are looking to ensure the CMS is compatible with as many hosts as possible.

Stay tuned…

I’ve found the issue with the Load More component — there was a bug when publishing to a sub folder, rather than the root of the server.

So publishing to `domain.com/sub-page` would cause an issue with Load More. This is now fixed and will be included in the next update 🙂
