Custom # of Posts

I have a custom category page for photo posts that shows a thumbnail for each gallery post. How would I override the number of posts displayed within that particular template? Is there a way to do that? Here's my template code:
<?php
/**
* The template for displaying Photo Category pages.
*
* Learn more: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
*
* @package GeneratePress
*/
// No direct access, please
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
get_header(); ?>
<section id="primary" <?php generate_content_class(); ?>>
<main id="main" <?php generate_main_class(); ?>>
<?php do_action('generate_before_main_content'); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php do_action( 'generate_archive_title' ); ?>
<div class="inside-article">
<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post-thumbnail">
<p class="thumbnail-image"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' ); ?></a></p>
<p class="thumbnail-link"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
<?php generate_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'no-results', 'archive' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action('generate_after_main_content'); ?>
</main><!-- #main -->
</section><!-- #primary -->
<?php
do_action('generate_sidebars');
get_footer();Unless someone has a better way of doing this, I was able to do this by changing this:
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
to this:
<?php query_posts('showposts=20&cat=2'); while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
query_posts() works, but should be avoided if possible.
You might be able to do this:
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'set_posts_per_page_for_towns_cpt' );
function set_posts_per_page_for_towns_cpt( $query ) {
if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && is_category( 'towns' ) ) {
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '10' );
}
}You'll need to change the is_category() conditional to suit your needs.
I figured there would be a better way to do it; thanks!!!
No problem :)
