First time here, no idea what I'm doing.
I cannot change the number of posts per page. It is not the blog page but a different one that I created to publish post content to as opposed to writing on it directly on the page.
I've been at it for 3h now and nothing seems to happen.
Anyone?
dashboard - settings - reading
you set it there

Does not work. That changes the blog page, not the other one.
can you elaborate a bit more on what "the other one" might be? Do you have a custom loop running there? If so, perhaps sharing a bit of the code on that page would be helpful.

I don't know what Loop is, so I'm pretty sure I'm not using it.
My site is readthetype.com.
I don't know what version of WP or Headway I'm running as I did not set this up.
I created a discussion page. It was originally a page of content, but I was instructed to turn it into a page of posts, like the blog page, to allow for more flexibility. So, on the discussion page I wrote:
[catlist id=6 excerpt=yes]
Then, I made a new post category called "Discussion."
To add content to the Discussion page, I now make a post and mark it as Discussion.
However, it only show's the most 5 recent. When I add one, it removes another. And, it was only showing a 1 line hyperlink of the title. No content.
Changing the reading settings does not influence this Discussion page. Only the Blog page.
I installed "Custom Post Limits" plugin and that did nothing.
I started fooling around with Headway, which I think might be buggy and the reason for my problem. I changed some of the leaf settings and it did everything from delete all my posts to put them all on the wrong page. Very inconsistent.
By sheer accident, I managed to get it so that the Discussion page would show more than 5 posts, and the beginning of the post content.
Question:
If I create a page that want to add content to as posts, not static content by making a page, adding the code:
[catlist id=6 excerpt=yes]
(changing the id), how do I make the page show more than 5 posts and include the first few lines of the post content?
