Posts per page

  • First time here, no idea what I’m doing.

    I cannot change the number of posts per page. It is not the blog page but a different one that I created to publish post content to as opposed to writing on it directly on the page.

    I’ve been at it for 3h now and nothing seems to happen.

    Anyone?

    Does not work. That changes the blog page, not the other one.

    can you elaborate a bit more on what “the other one” might be? Do you have a custom loop running there? If so, perhaps sharing a bit of the code on that page would be helpful.

    I don’t know what Loop is, so I’m pretty sure I’m not using it.

    My site is readthetype.com.

    I don’t know what version of WP or Headway I’m running as I did not set this up.

    I created a discussion page. It was originally a page of content, but I was instructed to turn it into a page of posts, like the blog page, to allow for more flexibility. So, on the discussion page I wrote:

    [catlist id=6 excerpt=yes]

    Then, I made a new post category called “Discussion.”

    To add content to the Discussion page, I now make a post and mark it as Discussion.

    However, it only show’s the most 5 recent. When I add one, it removes another. And, it was only showing a 1 line hyperlink of the title. No content.

    Changing the reading settings does not influence this Discussion page. Only the Blog page.

    I installed “Custom Post Limits” plugin and that did nothing.

    I started fooling around with Headway, which I think might be buggy and the reason for my problem. I changed some of the leaf settings and it did everything from delete all my posts to put them all on the wrong page. Very inconsistent.

    By sheer accident, I managed to get it so that the Discussion page would show more than 5 posts, and the beginning of the post content.

    Question:
    If I create a page that want to add content to as posts, not static content by making a page, adding the code:

    [catlist id=6 excerpt=yes]

    (changing the id), how do I make the page show more than 5 posts and include the first few lines of the post content?
