Via the Appearance>Reading Show Posts doesn’t work. * Furthermore my recent posts at the bottom are stacked on top of each other and I would really like them to come up like a grid or something more visually appealing!! * Please help this has been going on forever! * The blog I need help with is homehealthyfitness.com.

Disable all your plugins, clear the cache (if applicable) and see if it starts behaving. If it does, you know it’s a problem issue so you’ll need to start turning on plugins one by one, clearing the cache between (if applicable) until you find out which one is causing the problem. * Regarding cache, a lot of hosts also use a caching system, so it’s a good idea to check with your host and make sure if you need to clear that, too. * Unrelated most likely, but should be investigated – looking at the page source, you’ve got something funky going on. You have a html anchor tag call to a Google + page taking place at the very top of your page – before even the DOCTYPE is being declared. That shouldn’t be there. * Oh, and I encourage you to review the following: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#No_Bumping](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#No_Bumping) * Cheers!

Jet-pack seems to be the problem at the moment… As for the Google+ call, I was told to throw my +tag in the header.php so that’s why it’s there but it definitely doesn’t seem to be the right place… * [Chris Barrett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cbarrett123/) * (@cbarrett123) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-limitations-arent-working/#post-4947388) * You’re welcome. * Regarding the header.php, that file in most themes will call the `` content and usually the top part of the `` content. So, review your theme’s header. php and make sure your google plus code is located after the opening `` tag. Don’t just throw the code at the top of the file and expect it to work correctly. * You might also find this link useful: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Headers](http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Headers) * Thread Starter [Shaunrafuse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shaunrafuse/) * (@shaunrafuse) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-limitations-arent-working/#post-4947390) * Fixed that up, thanks Chris..
