Yes. There is no edit link on the site itself as it appears in the video demo on the P2 website.

My technical assistant may understand the <?php edit_post_link(); ?> part, I do not. I hope to figure out this myself without bothering him however.

It is my understanding that there is no need to go into admin to edit posts with P2 and that this was one of its selling points. It’s demonstrated in the video as such.

by “<?php edit_post_link(); ?>” do you mean I need to edit the code of the theme to add this “edit” functionality as demonstrated in the video?

Apologies for sounding slow. I’m a typographer and I have never learned code of any kind.

There is no edit button.

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?

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