[Support request] Want to disable pagination in homepage

[John]

Hello

I am using tasty but in my homepage showing pagination. screenshot https://prnt.sc/quofn9

How can I disable it?

Thanks

[Leo]

Hi there,

We could certainly do that but how can a user get to the second page without the pagination?

Let me know 🙂

[John]

Google can treat as duplicate content second or later archive page.

Pagination is important for category page but in homepage I don’t want it.

Showing 5 post in homepage is enough for me.

Note – I only want to disable pagination from homepage not category page

[Leo]

Try this CSS:

.home.blog .paging-navigation {
    display: none;
}

[John]

Its just hide from front end but code is still there. Is there anyway to disable instead hide by CSS?

[Leo]

We can try using this snippet to set the home page post number to 5:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', function( $query ) {
    if ( is_front_page() && is_home() ) {
        $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 5 );
    }
} );

Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

This is controlled by WordPress itself so more info here:

Tried the code via code snippet plugin. https://prnt.sc/qup8gm

But unfortunately Its not work.

[Leo]

What about the example here?
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/query_posts/

The snippet below “For example, on the homepage, you would normally see the latest 10 posts. If you want to show only 5 posts (and don’t care about pagination),” seems to be what you are after.

[John]

Gone through the ref page but Its hard to understand for me because I am not familiar with too much code

[Leo]

Try this code:

function wpdocs_five_posts_on_homepage( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 5 );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpdocs_five_posts_on_homepage' );

[John]

tried and showing 5 posts in homepage but pagination still there.

[Leo]

Ahh right.

Unfortunately we don’t have a filter for that as it’s not really logical to remove the pagination under normal circumstances.

You would need to create a child theme, copy post-meta.php in to the child theme folder and remove is_home() || from this line:
