Too many posts on the homepage?

check your theme’s index.php file and see if there is a

<?php query_posts( ... )?>

line in it – usually that line contains calls that override settings you set in your WP Settings ??

I checked the themes index.php and <? query_posts is not in there, any others things I could look at?

The posts on the homepage aren’t changing. I recently had a problem with scheduling posts so read in this forum to down-grade to 2.6.5 so I did, it didn’t solve the problem, so I upgraded back to 2.7.1 then this other problem started happening.

This is the weirdest thing happening, now its sending me emails from everyone who has ever made a comment to my site…

I will pay anyone to help me figure this problem out, I really dont want to lose my 3400 vistors a day, please?

Sorry 340 visits a day…

Temporarily disable all plugins and see if any of the problems go away.

I have my server support at hostgator trying to help me, I have disabled all plugins one at a time and cleared the super cache, but it still shows 36 posts on the homepage, whats weird is everything worked fine yesterday, until I seen the schuduling problem which I just down-graded to 2.6.5 then when I seen that didnt work went back to 2.7.1, any other suggestions? p8z.com

I just noticed the cron.php is running up all my processes and shutting down the site for a few seconds.

/usr/bin/php /home/user/public_html/wp-cron.php

Ever since I upgraded to 2.7.1 I have had nothing but problems… Im just going to delete the whole site and use a different blogging system this is just crazy, one minute its perfect the next its over loading the server with cron processes…

That would be the quickest way to get rid of most of your traffic. A lot of people are finding you because of your past posts.

the posts don’t dissapear completely, they still show up in google, so it would not influence traffic. It just makes the front page cleaner.
