Miserere

Finally figured it out! It’s a 2-step process.

First of all, the TOTAL number of posts to be shown on the front page, both the “recent” and the “old”, is set on the WordPress dashboard in Settings >> Reading, via the variable “Blog pages show at most __ posts”. The default is 10; let’s call this number N.

There is no (simple) way to set the number of Older Posts showing, but we can (simply) set the number of Recent Posts. In the Index.PHP file look for this line:

elseif( $postcount > 0 && $postcount <= 4 ) {

In this case (the default), the number of Recent Posts, including the main, sticky, most recent post, is equal to 4 + 1 = 5.

In this case, the number of Older Posts listed will be N – 5, which will be 5 for the default N = 10. If you want more Older Posts, simply increase N in the Reading settings while leaving the above code line intact.

Hanker555, you’ll probably find that in your case N is set to 70. If you don’t want any Older Posts, just set N to 5.

Yup. And I can’t even get it to work! No idea what’s wrong with it. Are there any other options out there? I couldn’t find alternative plugins that did this.

Phew! That was close, imagine us going without knowing our stats for the whole day. It would have been chaos, mayhem, craziness…or just normal for most people on the planet.

We’re a sad bunch 😀

For the newbs among us, LovelyAndroid’s bit of code replaces this bit of code:

<div id="header">

Which is found in the theme’s header.php file.

Of course, you should replace “http://www.lovelyandroid.com” with your own URL, unless you really want to confuse your readers 😀

PS: Thanks for the fix, LovelyAndroid.
