Title: Custom Posts Per Page Author: Jeremy Felt Published: oktober 7, 2011 Last modified: desember 11, 2014 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/custom-posts-per-page/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=480289) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/custom-posts-per-page_45a2d1.svg) # Custom Posts Per Page By [Jeremy Felt](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jeremyfelt/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/custom-posts-per-page.zip) * [Details](https://fao.wordpress.org/plugins/custom-posts-per-page/#description) * [Reviews](https://fao.wordpress.org/plugins/custom-posts-per-page/#reviews) * [Installation](https://fao.wordpress.org/plugins/custom-posts-per-page/#installation) * [Development](https://fao.wordpress.org/plugins/custom-posts-per-page/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-posts-per-page/) ## Description Custom Posts Per Page allows you to specify how many posts are displayed per page depending on your current view. Once settings are changed, the _Blog pages show at most_ setting in the _Reading_ menu will be ignored. Settings are available for: * Home (Index) Page - As long as view is set to blog posts, not static page. * Category Pages * Tag Pages * Author Pages * Archive Pages * Search Pages * Default Page (_Any page not covered above._) * Custom Post Type archive pages - All Custom Post Types are detected automatically. Each of the above settings can have a different value for the first page displayed** and** subsequent paged views. Custom Posts Per Page makes it easy to manage exactly how your content is displayed to your readers, especially when different views have different layouts, rather than relying on the single setting in the Reading menu or having to hard code options in your custom theme. ## Screenshots * [[ * An overview of the Custom Posts Per Page settings screen. ## Installation 1. Upload ‘custom-posts-per-page-count.php’ to your plugin directory, usually ‘wp- content/plugins/’, or install automatically via your WordPress admin page. 2. Active Custom Posts Per Page in your plugin menu. 3. Configure using the Posts Per Page menu under Settings in your admin page. (_See Screenshot_) That’s it! The current setting for _Blog pages show at most_ under _Reading_ will be used to fill in the default values. You can take over from there. ## FAQ What are you doing with found_posts? * An issue was appearing in plugins that assisted with pagination when the setting for posts per page was different from subsequent pages. To resolve this issue, we do some math and return an incorrect found_posts value when that scenario occurs. This doesn’t affect any core WordPress functionality, but could confuse other plugins that are looking for a correct value. I wouldn’t worry about this much, but keep it in mind if you are seeing issues _and_ have two different values entered as described. Should I keep using WordPress 3.2.1? * No. The next release of this plugin, version 1.8, will _not_ support WordPress 3.2.1. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9ff8fba293d4380ce1b8250b308c4b87f452c72a11fbac5d375bcf802cc90563? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Still works great, even for 4.7.2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-works-great-even-for-4-7-2/)󠁿 [MediaBarker](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mediabarker/) januar 28, 2017 Despite this being “out-of-date” this plug-in solved a problem for me.
