Change home page grid layout.. Quattro Theme

[daveerinParticipant Post count: 24]

I was just wanting to edit the home.php to make it so the posts would be in a grid view and there would be six visible posts. The home.php file seems fairly straight forward, even though I have never edited a php before, but there are not many lines of code in it.

The code is just..

<?php

remove_action( ‘genesis_loop’, ‘genesis_do_loop’ );
add_action( ‘genesis_loop’, ‘quattro_grid_loop_helper’ );
/** Add support for Genesis Grid Loop */
function quattro_grid_loop_helper() {

if ( function_exists( ‘genesis_grid_loop’ ) ) {
genesis_grid_loop( array(
‘features’ => 0,
‘feature_image_size’ => 0,
‘feature_image_class’ => ‘alignleft post-image’,
‘feature_content_limit’ => 0,
‘grid_image_size’ => ‘grid-thumbnail’,
‘grid_image_class’ => ‘alignnone’,
‘grid_content_limit’ => 200,
‘more’ => __( ‘[Continue reading]‘, ‘genesis’ ),
‘posts_per_page’ => 2,
) );
} else {
genesis_standard_loop();
}

}

genesis();

The problem is, I want only six posts to appear to the home page. No matter what figure I change the “‘posts_per_page’ =>” it remains as showing 10 posts. Anybody know what could be causing it?

Also a second question.. how would i change the layout of the home page as it is not actually a page. It is stuck with two sidebars either side and i only wanted one sidebar. The options in genesis dont apply to the home page.

What version of Genesis are you using?

Please add this to your functions.php file

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'child_change_home_query' );
function child_change_home_query( $query ) {
	if( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_home() ) {
		$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '2' ); 
	}
}

That should be && $query. The code isn’t posting right.

I’m having the same issue and when I try to enter the above code into functions.php I get an error. I don’t understand the correction…can I have the correct code? I’d really like to fix this.

The board screwed up the code. Change the special characters to && . Otherwise the code is correct.
