Changing the number of posts in search/category/archive page

Hi everyone!

How do I change the number of posts that appear on my category/archive/search pages? Also, how do I change the number of pages that show up from page 2 onward on the home page?

Right now our home page has 5 posts which is perfect. But when you click through subsequent pages I'd like there to be 10 posts per page.

I would also like all the category, archive, search, tag pages to also have 10 posts per page.

How would go about making a change like this?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

If you wish to control how many posts are displayed on category, archive and search pages, simply login to you Wordpress admin dashboard > Settings > Reading and change the value for the setting "Blog pages show at most", the default is set to 10.

Please search our forums, before posting!

Hi Danny,

Thanks for the reply but that suggestion would affect the 1st page of my home page which is something I don't want.

As I said in my question, I would like the 1st page of the home page to stay at 5 posts and then I'd like all subsequent pages to show 10 posts. In addition to that I also want to make the category/archive/search etc. pages to 10 posts per page.

Do you know how to make the change I described?

Thanks again

I don't know if it's possible to customize number of posts to display in subsequent pages, but for your special pages like category, archive, etc. you may want to try this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-posts-per-page/

Hi Catrina,

This plugin looks like it will take me closer to my goal, thanks for bring it to my attention!

(I'd still be interested to hear from other if my vision for how my site operates is possible though)UP

UPDATE

Catrina - you're a lifesaver! This plug in allowed me to do everything I asked for!!

Thanks a mill

      Anything Boxes And Polylang Language Filtering Problem
      By janpeeters
      Over the last month I had extensive communications with the developer of the (premium) Anything Boxes section (in Pagelines store) (Adam Munns) and the developer of the WP Polylang Multilingual plugin (Frederic Demarle).
       
      This was because the following problem occurred:
      Anything Boxes showed all posts of two languages (Dutch and English) on the respective static frontpages for each language. It should of course have filtered posts for Dutch language on the Dutch frontpage and English on the English frontpage.
       
      The solution to this problem was simple in the end. When duplicating a page for use in another language the settings for Anything Boxes were not copied to the new page and I should have set these settings manually again on the new page. I wasn't aware of this, but it makes sense. Because of this the pages didn't know how to differentiate between posts from different languages.
       
      The dev of Polylang told me that Polylang is currently smart enough to synchronize metas like Featured images and page templates but it does not work out of the box with metas created by plugins and themes but (according to Frederic) it is rather easy to add them in the list using the filter 'pll_copy_post_metas'.
      He mentions that he is not sure that these 'PageLines Meta Settings' are stored in post meta but that would make sense according to him. He asks if the Pagelines dev team will be interested to support this feature in the future.
       
      I'm also wondering if you will consider adding Polylang translation support for manually editable strings like the 'Read more…' strings in Pagelines Settings.
       
      Well that's of course up to you but I thought to let you know to be able to take this into consideration. I also post this for other users in case they experience the same kind of trouble and are looking for an answer.
       
      Best regards,

      Tabs Do Not Align Horizontally
      By hutruk
      Hi!

      I am using the shortcodes for tabs, as described in the documentation.

      When I insert the following code:


      [pl_tabs][pl_tabtitlesection type="tabs"] [pl_tabtitle number="1"]Title 1[/pl_tabtitle] [pl_tabtitle number="2"]Title 2[/pl_tabtitle] [/pl_tabtitlesection] [pl_tabcontentsection] [pl_tabcontent active="yes" number="1"] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit [/pl_tabcontent] [pl_tabcontent number="2"] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit [/pl_tabcontent] [/pl_tabcontentsection] [/pl_tabs]

      I get a strange output (in the attachment).

      Any ideas?

      Thanks in advance!
