    Sorry for the silly question, but can I combine

    <?php query_posts( 'post_type=blog');
 if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    with
    query_posts('posts_per_page=5');
    and if yes, how?

    My trial-and-error method failed.

    The idea is to have a different number of posts per page than the setting under “reading”.

    $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'blog', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();

    Thanks, but sorry again, that does not seem to be:

    <?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'blog', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

    This results in a blank screen (I simply replaced the block I opened with, maybe you didn’t mean that?

    Strange, it worked on my blog.

    Try this instead then:

    <?php
$args = array(
	'posts_per_page' => 5,
	'post_type' => 'blog'
);
query_posts($args);
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>

    Jiha! The result is not pretty, but it (temporarily) patches a problem.
    Thanks a lot.
