How to change post count on blog home page vs others
4 replies · Started by Scott on December 18, 2017
Hi
I would like the differ the count of posts shown on the home page of my blog vs other page i.e on the home page ( navigation page 1 ) i would like 3 posts shown but when i navigate to page 1,2..99 via the pagination i want there to be 4 posts show. I tried this with hooks but so far it's failing.
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'posts_on_page', 1);
function posts_on_page($query){
if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() && ! is_admin() ) {
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', 3 );
}else{
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', 4 );
}
}It continues to show the post per page configured in "Settings->Reading->Blog pages show at most"
Can someone help please ?
thanks
Scott
That code should make it so the main blog page (set in Settings > Reading) only displays 3 posts.
You would likely need check which page you're on. For example: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/blog-add-on-different-number-of-post-in-first-page-of-blog/#post-372928
ok thanks but it still doesn't work for me. I tried this in the 'Inside Content Container' hook
<?php
function posts_on_page( $query ) {
if ( ! is_main_query() ) {
return;
}
if ( ! $query->is_paged ) {
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', 10 );
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'posts_on_page', 1 );
?>
The post count remains the same Settings > Reading
I used the snippets plugin instead of the hooks and it worked better. will resolve thanks.
Awesome :)
