Limiting the Number of Posts on Homepage Not Working

Hey,

themes have the possibility to override these settings. This one here uses a lot of custom queries that ignore whatever you’re setting up. Without a way to test this, maybe try changing line 152 of your index.php to something like this:
$args = array_merge( $wp_query->query_vars, array( 'post__not_in' => $not_in_index, 'posts_per_page' => 60 ) );

Still, you might want get in contact with the theme creator. They should be able to help you out.

Hi Keymasters,

Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it.

In my index.php, on line 152, i have this: global $wp_query;

do you mean to replace this code with your given code ?

Actually, their support isn’t that good that’s why i posted here. Still, I will going to contact and ask them too.

Thanks,

Seems like I got a different version. So, no don’t replace that line. Find the lines looking like this within your index.php:

global $wp_query;
$args = array_merge( $wp_query->query_vars, array( 'post__not_in' => $not_in_index ) );

query_posts( $args );
// For CTR Plugin
$loop = clone $wp_query;

And replace that with:

global $wp_query;
$args = array_merge( $wp_query->query_vars, array( 'post__not_in' => $not_in_index, 'posts_per_page' => 60 ) );

query_posts( $args );
// For CTR Plugin
$loop = clone $wp_query;

Hope this works, but there is some funky coding going on, so I’m not 100% sure.

I did what you told me but it seems like its not working as i am still seeing posts more than 60 ??

What to do now? Any other ideas or suggestions ?

Okay, one last try. ??

Replace above code with this:

global $wp_query;
$args = array_merge( $wp_query->query_vars, array( 'post__not_in' => $not_in_index, 'posts_per_page' => 60 ) );

// query_posts( $args );
// For CTR Plugin
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );

Nope, nothing, no change, still the same. i have checked in mozila and in chrome incognito mode as well still the same. ??

@tayyab84, Please add full code of page or any external file with url so we can easy to see your code issue.

@ravipatel:
I have mentioned URL in post, check on top! Remaining index.php code is below from wp editor:

<?php
/*
  Template Name: Home page
 */

$i = 0;
$is_404 = is_404();
global $query_string, $game_post_type, $not_in_index;
if ($is_404){
    header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
    $fileextension = pathinfo($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], PATHINFO_EXTENSION );
      if (in_array($fileextension, array('jpg','png','bmp','gif','mov'))) {
    // If the requested resource does not have a .php extension, include the standard error doc and exit
    _e('File not found', 'frizi-arcade');
    exit;
  }

}  

get_header();
