Hi,

I have a blog and the theme shows too many posts on the front page. I need to reduce the number of posts per page. I need a workable solution. I have done a "google" search and got some code to change the index.php file. It only worked while I was logged in as admin. Once I logged out the number of posts went back to what it was before.

Any help, is appreciated.

First of all you failed to mention what Blog platform Wordpress, or which ? so we can't tell unless you state that

Wordpress is the platform.

1. Go to Dashboard and Reading and Reduce the number of posts
2. add a function to the add_action function

exclude_category( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'posts_per_page', '10' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category' );

in the functions.php

3. Add the array posts_per_page in the WP_Query in the main page

Thanks bro.

If you search POST section of plugins you will also see a lot of plugins to position posts in different way, including limits of posts in frontpage.
