Pinnacle Free:recent posts home page

I tried in settings-reading, or adding the line
<?php query_posts('showposts=100'); ?>
but none of the options seem to work ??

Hey,
If your looking for the “recent posts” in your theme options > home layout would have have to use a child theme. But there is a simple way to do this without editing any code.

Go to settings > reading. Set the front page to be your posts page and set the max posts per page to be whatever number you want.

Then in your theme options > home layout disabled the “recent posts” module and enable the “page content” module.

That should set you up.

Wonderful, thank you for prompt reply! It gives me all posts just I really like that tile layout for that matter. If I follow your instruction I have it all, but one under another.

I tried also to set the event calendar (which is basically the “all posts from the given category” page) as the homepage under settings-reading but then it shows me literally no content – or one under another as the above version.
So basically my homepage is here and this is content that I want – for now literally one more than fits in by default but will be more.
Is there a way to put it all (under call to action field)? One category, all post, in 4 columns? Or I just make a static schedule page with posts links, but it is the most-consuming option I suppose…

Hey,
I am confused.. you didn’t seem to do what I suggested above.. You need to move “latest posts” to disabled. and move “page content” to enabled.

You can change the style of those “page content” posts in your theme options > home layout. Scroll to the bottom and set it to grid.

OOOOoooooh okay I was silly not to select home layout to grid. Yes before I swapped back to the original version because I didn’t like it without grid.
You are great!!
One last thing: can I limit them to a category somehow?

No, that isn’t possible because it’s the main loop.

Really for that kind of layout you would need the premium theme because of the shortcode options. It’s just not a built in option with the free theme.

Ok ok I got it now, if anyone needs it, I used:

function my_home_category( $query ) { if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘cat’, ‘2’); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘my_home_category’ );

in the function.php – 2 is my desired category ID.
Thank you for your amazing support Kadence Themes!

Yes I know and you are right with the premium theme, and I am really seriously considering it, I know it’s worth it!

Hey,
Just a heads up you will want to make sure to place that in a child theme (you can download one here: https://www.kadencethemes.com/child-themes/

That way you won’t lose it with an update.
