1 post on index and 10 on other page ?

  • Hi,

    I want to display the last post on my index, so I put the loop in my theme and I selected “1” last post on reading options.

    But it’s the same for other pages like “search.php”, I use the same loop and when an user searches one post, it display only the last article, not all the results, how can I do to change that ?

    Is there one tag to add/change in my loop ?

    Thanks =)

  • Set your reading options back to ten posts.

    You want one post on main blog loop, controlled by index.php, correct?

    If so add this line before the WordPress loop starts:

    <?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1'); ?>

    The start of the WordPress loop looks something like this:

    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    So put the line I gave you before those lines (the exact code of the loop varies from theme to theme).

    All is ok but there is a little last problem :

    I use the plugin “WP Page Navi”, do you know it ?
    So, when I search something, it’s ok, on search.php there are the 5 last posts, and if I want to continue, I click on “(page )2” to watch the older results, but on the index, if I click on “2” or “3”, this is always the newest post which displays…

    Do you know how to fix that ?

    Thanks for your help this is a good beginning for me =)

    Yes, you need another line of code and a slight change:

    instead of this
    <?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1'); ?>

    this

    <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
      query_posts("posts_per_page=1&paged=$paged"); ?>

    that should do it
