Show lastest post on home page but multiple posts on archive pages

<?php get_header(); query_posts(‘posts_per_page=1’); ?>

Change 1 to what ever number of posts you want to display. It doesn’t change categories or archives.

Thanks!

I could only get this to work properly after creating a home.php file that was an exact copy of my index.php file, except that I inserted the code as outlined above. There’s a full description here:

Hi the last post in this thread seemed to do what I needed having one post on the main page but 5 posts on tags and categories but now when I hit the previous and next post on the home page it just keeps showing the same post over and over instead of going back. Any ideas anyone?
