Need help with static front page

Hi mtsbspidey,

thanks for using MH Magazine lite

…instead of listing all the posts ten at a time, I’d like to just have the last three or five (and no page numbers at the bottom).

You can adjust the number of posts per page in your WordPress dashboard under Settings => Reading => Blog pages show at most. But you’ll have a pagination at the bottom, that’s how archives in WordPress are supposed to work.

If you don’t want to have an archive on your front page, you could set a static front page and then build the layout with widgets. You can find all that information in the theme documentation.

Also, how do I get the little thumbnails to show up? All I’m seeing are gray boxes.

You need to set featured images for your posts: How to use featured images in WordPress.

In case you don’t make use of images on your site, you could also hide the image placeholders with a line of CSS:

.mh-image-placeholder { display: none; }

You can add custom CSS code in your WordPress dashboard under Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS.

Thanks for the fast reply. It was super helpful. I’m that much closer to how I want the site to look. I just wish there were a way to take out the pagination in CSS.

Well, you could hide the pagination with a line of CSS, but it still will be there in the source code of your site:

.mh-loop-pagination { display: none; }

By the way, we’re very happy that you like the theme. Good luck with your website! ??

Hiding it is fine with me. What php page do I put the line in? (Sorry if it’s too many stupid questions.)

Perfect. You’re a life-saver. Thank you so much.

You’re very welcome and if you like the theme, then it would be much appreciated if you could quickly rate the theme here. ??
