 * So the Hueman theme is great and I absolutely love it. I am learning a lot, and
   need help with the 1 versus 2 column layout. For my ‘home page’ I would like 
   blog posts shown in a 1 column layout which I have done by editing the child 
   theme CSS. However, for the recipes page, which shows posts based on the ‘recipes
   and eats’ category to be in the 2 column layout. Currently it is in the 1 column
   layout like the ‘home page’. Any thoughts? The website is [http://www.barbellsandcurls.com](http://www.barbellsandcurls.com)(
   and is still being developed).
 * Thanks!

 * Try changing your child theme css to specify just the home page:
 *     ```
       .home .post-list .post {
       width: 100%;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks for the response. Unfortunately this did not change the recipes tab either.
   I replace my current css child mod ‘.post-list .post, .post-list .page { width:
   100%; }’ with yours and it remained 1 column on all pages. Any other suggestions
   to try?

 * What is even more strange, I removed my code and your entirely from the child
   theme css, and updated the file. When I refreshed the page it remained as 1 column
   and did not revert to the standard 2 column.

 * Okay – apologies for the responses, but your edits did work perfect! For some
   reason just refreshing the page would not update the changes, but when I closed
   the browser and restarted it worked great! Thank you bdbrown. I do have another
   question. I am only showing three posts on the ‘home’ page. The ‘recipes’ page
   only shows three as well. In a grid layout now this docent look that great. Is
   there anyway I can keep the home page at 3 and increase just the recipe page?

 * I just looked at your site using the link in your original post. The code I suggested
   above is still there, the home page posts are in a single column and the recipes-
   eats page posts are in two columns.

 * I know and thanks! Apologies for the miscommunication, your advice worked great.
   There was an issue with my refresh and it wasn’t showing changes as I mad them.
   Thanks again. Do you have any thoughts on how to increase the post count (posts
   shown at one time) on just the recipes tab?

 * Check the Settings – Reading – Blog pages show at most X posts. Is that set to
   3?

 * Yes it is because I only want 3 or 4 at the most shown on the ‘home’ page. Because
   the ‘recipes’ page is grid now (thanks again) I would like that page to show 
   8 or 10.

 * Couple of options:
    1. Add this to your child theme functions.php
 *     ```
       function posts_on_homepage( $query ) {
           if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
               $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 3 );
           }
       }
       add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'posts_on_homepage' );
       ```
   
 * 2. Use a plugin like [this one](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cbnet-different-posts-per-page/).
 * Then change the “Blog pages show at most” to however many posts you want to display
   on the category pages.
