   How to show more than 15 posts in admin's Manage -> Posts?

   I'd like 50, 100 or even all.

   Hardcoding in the code is ok for me.

   In wp-admin/includes/post.php

   Line 517

   wp(”post_type=post&what_to_show=posts$post_status_q&posts_per_page=15&order=$order&orderby=$orderby”);

   Change posts_per_page=15 to posts_per_page=25

   Or whatever is desired. I actually have mine quite high.

   In 2.7 it's on line 807 in the same file as above.

   man I'm glad I found this. I'm writing a wxr export script for a backwater blogging system, and there's a lot of deleting involved.

   Is it just me, or should this be an option in the "screen options" drop-down? I can think of lots of cases where one would want to change the number from the (really unnecessarily low) fifteen. That feels like a number an engineer pulled out of the air while working and now it's become the standard. Crazy how often that happens. [resists urge to tell stories]

   I have wrote a follow up to this topic:

   Display More Posts In WordPress Post Manager

   I have found if it is set too high, you may potentially receive errors.

   I agree this should be an option, like how you are able to change the amount of lines when your write a post (wp-admin > settings > writing). Another number I've set much higher than the default ten (10). Makes HTML work much easier.

   Maybe a plugin is in order.

    Seems WP has solved this issue in 2.8 with the option to show more posts on the post administration page.

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.8:

    • Add per page option to Screen Options for comments, posts, pages, media, categories, and tags.
    • Allow a plugin to control how many posts are displayed on edit pages.

    WordPress 2.8
    wp-admin\includes\post.php
    line 823:

    $posts_per_page = 15;

    I will refrain from editing core wordpress files.
    Instead you can code this in your template using query_posts
    http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
    From this article in the codex:
    

    // Get the last 10 posts in the special_cat category.
    <?php query_posts('category_name=special_cat&showposts=10'); ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <!-- Do special_cat stuff... -->
    <?php endwhile;?>

    Or using WP_query:

    Xamataca, what "template" can we edit for the admin screens? I think you mistook the question to be for one's WP website. Actually the question was about the WP *admin* page in the backend.

    ZeRohiLL, yes, 2.8 allows for these things. But how? Where's the option to make the number of Posts higher than the 15 by default?

    Erick_paper,

    To Change the amount of posts that can be edited at a time in WordPress 2.8.x

    Click on SCREEN OPTIONS
    Change Options Posts per page from 1 to 999.

    @vincent101,

    Thanks for posting your answer. This is one of the features I hadn't needed until now, and it's been a real time saver!
