If anyone reaches out to you on your personal contacts regarding your question, I’d be very cautious. * Now, regarding your question: what exactly happens when the list of posts doesn’t load? Do you see a blank page? If so, there’s a server-side error, likely caused by your setting for the number of posts, which is incompatible with some setting in your hosting. * The setting is saved to your WordPress user account. To undo this, you can try the following: - Go to your website’s database and look for the “user” table (it will have a prefix like “wp_”). Search for your user’s ID there. Make a note of it, then look in the “usermeta” table for entries with that ID. You should also find an entry with ‘meta_key’ set to “edit_post_per_page” – delete that, and you’re done. - Or you can create a new user in the WordPress backend. This user will have fresh settings and won’t have the problem. - Or you can check exactly what error is occurring. You may need to contact your hosting provider’s support team, who can also help you optimize your settings. - Alternatively, you could implement the above method in the database using a one-time PHP script. * If you need personal assistance in resolving the issue, it’s best to contact your hosting provider’s support team first.
