Post limitations aren't working

  • This has been driving me nuts, I’m trying to limit the number of posts on my main page to 3 but it wont work no matter what I do. Via the Appearance>Reading Show Posts doesn’t work.

    Furthermore my recent posts at the bottom are stacked on top of each other and I would really like them to come up like a grid or something more visually appealing!!

    Please help this has been going on forever!

    The blog I need help with is homehealthyfitness.com.

    Can anyone provide some insight, I’ve come across others with the same issue so i’m wondering if it is a theme issue?

    Hi Shaunrafuse,

    I would start with the basics and figure out if a plugin is causing an issue. Disable all your plugins, clear the cache (if applicable) and see if it starts behaving. If it does, you know it’s a problem issue so you’ll need to start turning on plugins one by one, clearing the cache between (if applicable) until you find out which one is causing the problem.

    Regarding cache, a lot of hosts also use a caching system, so it’s a good idea to check with your host and make sure if you need to clear that, too.

    Unrelated most likely, but should be investigated – looking at the page source, you’ve got something funky going on. You have a html anchor tag call to a Google+ page taking place at the very top of your page – before even the DOCTYPE is being declared. That shouldn’t be there.

    Oh, and I encourage you to review the following: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Forum_Welcome#No_Bumping

    Thanks Chris..

    I believe it’s been a plugin issue.. Jet-pack seems to be the problem at the moment… As for the Google+ call, I was told to throw my +tag in the header.php so that’s why it’s there but it definitely doesn’t seem to be the right place…

    You’re welcome.

    Regarding the header.php, that file in most themes will call the <head> content and usually the top part of the <body> content. So, review your theme’s header.php and make sure your google plus code is located after the opening <body> tag. Don’t just throw the code at the top of the file and expect it to work correctly.
