Help limiting number of post…

  • How can I limit the number of post to just 3?

    Here is the code I am using on my current theme…
    I have tried several things but they just mess up the code. I am not a php coder but, I’m sure someone here know what to do…
    Thanks for your help,

    <?php $i = 0; ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); $i++; ?>
<div class="span-8 post-<?php the_ID(); ?><?php if ($i == 3) { ?> last<?php  } ?>">
<h6 class="archive-header"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></h6>
<?php echo get_the_image_link(array('thumbnail','thumbnail-news'),'thumbnail'); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<p class="postmetadata"><?php the_time('M d, Y') ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('Have your say »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
</div>
<?php if ($i == 3) { ?><div class="archive-stack clear"></div><?php $i = 0; } ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

    anyone?

    You can set number of post in a page from wordpress admin.

    Go to wp-admin > Settings > Reading and change the value of Blog pages show at most textbox to 3.

    That has nothing to do with what I am trying to do or the code above.

    My site is https://www.lukeshook.com I only want to display 3 post excerpts under the main image / article. Right now it is showing 4 or more if I post them.

    The code in the first post is from my home page and is what controls how the post are displayed.

    Can someone help me?
    Thanks…

    did u ever solve this? Be sure to look at plugin ‘Different Post per page’

    ummm…maybe I’m not being clear…
    I don’t need a plugin…
    I just need to know how to edit the code above so that it only pulls three post not all.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Use the following code, hope works for you.

    <?php $i = 0; ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
	if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue;
	update_post_caches($posts);
	$i++;
	if ($i<=3) {?>
		<div class="span-8 post-<?php the_ID(); ?>
			<?php if ($i == 3) { ?> last<?php  } ?>">
			<h6 class="archive-header"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></h6>
			<?php echo get_the_image_link(array('thumbnail','thumbnail-news'),'thumbnail'); ?>
			<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
			<p class="postmetadata"><?php the_time('M d, Y') ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('Have your say ?', '1 Comment ?', '% Comments ?'); ?></p>
		</div>
	<?php } ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<div class="archive-stack clear"></div>

    Thanks
