Test Report

Env

• Web Server: Apache
• WordPress: 6.0-alpha-52448-src
• Browser: Chrome
• OS: Linux
• Theme: Twenty Twenty-Two
• Plugins: None activated

Steps to test

1. Create two posts: One that is published and one that is saved as a draft.
2. Add the contents of the first_post_ajax() function (not including function ...) in the ticket's description to a custom plugin or your theme.
3. Make the following replacements:

$cid = 1; // Uncategorized
$dates = 'February-2022'; // Or whatever month-year it is for you.
$pages = 1;

4. Remove the following block:

<div class="skider-img">
    <a href="'.get_the_permalink().'"><img class="img-responsive" src="'.$images[0].'" alt=""></a>
</div>

5. Visit the frontend.

Results

• Expected: The contents of both posts.
• Actual: The contents of the published post.
• Result: Could not reproduce ❌ The expected and actual values do not match.

Notes

• Try disabling all plugins to see if the issue persists.
• Try switching to a different theme to see if the issue persists.
• If the issue does not persist, check for filters that may be applied to pre_get_posts or similar filters that may be causing an issue.
• Alternatively, add post_status => 'publish' to the $args array.

Sorry we have call ajax with above mentioned first message

add_action ( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_first_post_ajax', 'first_post_ajax' );
add_action ( 'wp_ajax_first_post_ajax', 'first_post_ajax' );

I can't reproduce this issue as well.
@sumitsingh please try to reproduce it on a fresh WordPress install, without any plugin and with a default theme to confirm the issue still occurs in that case.

Removing critical severity for now.
