Blog Slider Slows Load Time – Reduce # of Posts?

Hi,

Please create Child theme first and create home-blog.php in child theme directory and then copy below code in home-blog.php

<div class="enigma_blog_area" id="enigma_blog">
<?php $wl_theme_options = weblizar_get_options();
if($wl_theme_options['blog_title'] !='') { ?>
	<div class="container" >
		<div class="row">
			<div class="col-sm-12">
				<div class="enigma_heading_title">
					<h3><?php echo esc_attr($wl_theme_options['blog_title']); ?></h3>
				</div>
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
	<?php } ?>
	<div class="container">
	<div class="row" id="enigma_blog_section">
	<?php 	if ( have_posts()) :

			$post_type_data = new WP_Query( $args );
			while($post_type_data->have_posts()):
			$post_type_data->the_post(); ?>

Save the changes.
To set number of posts set it at $posts_count =6;
Thanks.

Thank you so much for your reply! I have been swamped and haven’t had time to implement, but if it is just doing this I am confident I can do it.

I did not want you to think I did not appreciate the answer. ??

Thanks again

Melissa
