Extra headlines?

  • I currently have wordpress set up to show the last 10 posts on the main page. But I’m begining to post more than 10 posts a day. I’ve tried increasing the amount of posts on the main page to 15, but the pageload time was not good. I’m wondering if there is a way through a plugin, hack, or even template, to make it so that I can show my first 10 posts like they are now, and then just the linked headlines for the next, let’s say 20 posts. Is there a way to do this?

  • Yes, you do it by adding another loop, like so:

    <?php query_posts('showposts=20&offset=10'); ?>

<ul>

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

<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</ul>

    And how can i format this so that that loop only appears on the main page?

    Anyone?

    If you put the code told above, in your theme’s index.php file (aka Main Index Template) then it will only be on the homepage.

    If you wanted it on other pages you would put it also in Single Post Template, Category.php, and maybe some Archives template(s).

    I don’t know about how to sort it by date but it can be done
