Changing Recent Posts Link Quantity

    ~ i would like to show a much longer ( up to 40 ) list of links under “Recent Posts” in the sidebar…

    … in researching this i have found confusion relative to instruction to go to ( settings > reading ) under dashboard and change the ( X ) number within the selection area titled:

    “Blog pages show at most __X__ posts”

    … however, this just seems to change the number of posts that are displayed on the page designated as the blog page, and NOT the number of links displayed under the “Recent Posts” section on pages…

    … does anyone have a suggestion ?…

    … hopefully, this is something that can be accomplished within the dashboard, however, i have not found THE place where i might be able to do that yet… thanks in advance – db

    ~ determined to find something, i kept looking, and found a solution here:

    Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Sidebar ( or other widget location ) > Recent Posts > Edit

    enables both the number of visible post links, as well as the “Title” to be changed, so that “Recent Posts” can be customized to something of your choice.

    hope that helps ! – db

    Hi, Kathryn;

    I appreciate the note, thank you, a great week your way !!!

    If I may ask here; is there a way to reverse the stacking order of the links, so that the oldest link is the one at the top, and the most recent is the one at the bottom ? ?…

    I am writing a book about sales and selling, and want my test readers to be able to easily find the introduction, then read the remaining sections linearly, if they want… i saw a reference to this possibility, but i can’t seem to find the “switch” within the dashboard ?? !!! – db

    The Recent Posts widget is a core (default) WordPress widget and not part of the Edin theme – I don’t see an option to reverse the post order.

    You might look for a more robust Recent Posts widget plugin that allows you to do this – have a look and see if you can find one that meets your needs.
