Custome # of post on index.php

  • I would like to have a different number of post on the home page then my archive and category pages.

    I have found this code 

    <?php
$page_num = $paged;
if ($pagenum='') $pagenum =1;
query_posts('showposts=7&paged='.$page_num); ?>
               	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                // WordPress loop
                endwhile;endif; ?>

    Everything works great on the main page except when I click on the Older entries link. One the second 3rd page I get a 404 error.

    Can some one please explain why I would get a 404 error and what I might do to solve this problem.

    Thanks
    -Mike

  • Try this code instead

    <?php
if (is_front_page) {
  $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
  query_posts("$query_string&showposts=7&paged=$paged");
}
?>
               	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                // WordPress loop
                endwhile;endif; ?>

    You can proberly drop the empty $query_string …

    You’re just passing an empty variable into the query …

    query_posts("showposts=7&paged=$paged");
