Home.php Not Working

[rbennettParticipant Post count: 23]

The number of posts set in the home.php is not working.  It is showing the number of posts under “Settings > Reading > Blog pages show at most”

Happening on several sites

http://boulderlocavore.com

http://healthylivinghowto.com

Started doing this after some updates – not sure if it was wordpress 3.5 or Genesis 1.9

Thanks for any help.

This is an issue with the Grid Loop.

Place the code below in your functions.php and remove the post_per_page state in your grid loop in your home.php

 

add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wps_limit_loop_to_cat’ );
/**
* Limit Grid Loop to a Specific Category on a Specific Page
*
* @author Bill Erickson
* @author Travis Smith
* @link http://www.billerickson.net/customize-the-wordpress-query/
* @param object $query data
*
*/
function wps_limit_loop_to_cat( $query ) {
// To Limit it on a page, change $post_id
if( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_home() ) {

$query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, ’7′ );
}
}

See this: http://www.studiopress.com/forums/topic/change-home-page-grid-layout-quattro-theme/#post-12114

Note the code didn’t post well so there’s a note below the code block. Change the 2 to whatever number you need.

Added this to 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’, ’6′ );
}
}

and get this Error message

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /home/content/41/9844641/html/wp-content/themes/focus/functions.php on line 25

Figure out that I need to ad this

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', '6' );
}
}

instead
