How to make posts per page different

  • Is there a way I can make the number of posts per page different for different parts of my site? For example I want to have the two most recent posts on the front page, and like 9-10 posts per page on the archives section. I’ve tried a few searches on this forum and on google but havn’t had any luck, any help would be greatly apprciated.

    I changed my posts per page to 8, and using the plugin I set the number on the homepage to 2, and it worked perfectly! Thanks a lot for the link mdawaffe

    Is there a plugin to do this with WordPress 1.2.2? Or some other hack I’m not aware of?
    I’ve got a 1.2.2 blog running wherein I’ve got posts paged set to 1 – but then my archive pages only have 1 post as well, which kind of defeats the point.

    If upgrading to 1.5 is the only solution, fine, but if there’s something easier, hooray.

    Can you give instructions for the use of the plugin https://rephrase.net/miscellany/05/perpage.phps ??
    I installed and activated but then I see no additional menu or submenu in the admin page.
    So, how do I use this plugin in WP 1.5?

    You have to edit the code of the plugin itself:
    $posts_per['X'] = Y;
    I think the custom query strings will also do a similar job, but with an admin interface:

    A) You should upgrade to 1.5. This ensures your site is safe and will be of a benefit when a new version comes out.

    B) Your should check out the custom query string plugin, which lets you customize posts per page based on the type of page a person is looking at a€?? archives, search, index, etc.

    Do a search and you’ll find it.
