Homepage only showing 12 maximum posts

  • It seems i can only get 12 post maximum to show on my homepage under entertainment.

    I already tried all settings within dashboard.. like “reading” settings etc.

    Im able to change it to show more post within theme option, but it does not do more then 12.. seems to cap at 12.

    I was able to edit a core file which took away the category in the section and then it showed more than the 12. so it seems something with the category is interfering or something…

    Hope something could help me out on this.

    High appreciated.

    Thank you in advance

  • Core file or theme file? You really shouldn’t edit core files!

    You really shouldn’t edit theme files either but on those, you can create a child theme and edit that child of your current theme.

    Speaking of themes… your theme is possibly overriding the ‘reading’ settings…

    Temporarily swap to a default theme (I use Twenty Seventeen for a test theme) to see what happens or consult with your theme provider for further help. Twenty Seventeen will probably respect your settings and show you whatever number of posts you want.

    BTW: You might also want to look at your RSS feed to see how many posts show via RSS… I usually set the Feeds to 5 more than my reading settings but that’s just a convention I follow.

    There’s good reasons for doing so beyond the usual uses of RSS. Some search engines use the RSS feed and if an aggregator or curator finds an RSS feed he’ll gladly help promote your posts. If it’s a ‘well-behaved’ aggregator or curator then that would be a good thing.

    I was able to find solution in functions.php.

    Used find tool searching “12” in all php folders till i find code which needed to be fixed.

    if (!is_admin() && $query->is_category()){
    $query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, 12 );

    thanks
