How to change the number of posts shown?

Dear fellow Genesis & eleven40 users

I am currently setting up my personal blog using the Genesis framework as well as the great eleven40 theme.

I would like my “main page” to show the latest plus four older postings. Using Google, I was able to find out that adding “posts per page” to the home.php should help. Here´s what my home.php currently says:

<?php

remove_action( ‘genesis_loop’, ‘genesis_do_loop’ );
add_action( ‘genesis_loop’, ‘eleven40_grid_loop_helper’ );
/** Add support for Genesis Grid Loop */
function eleven40_grid_loop_helper() {

if ( function_exists( ‘genesis_grid_loop’ ) ) {
genesis_grid_loop( array(
‘features’ => 1,
‘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’ => 250,
‘more’ => __( ‘[Continue reading]‘, ‘genesis’ ),
‘posts_per_page’ => 4
) );
} else {
genesis_standard_loop();
}

}

genesis();

But it does not work as you can see on my website marcelwitczak.de – it shows more than 4 posts. What do I have to do to make it work? I would really appreciate any information!

While we´re at it – on the demo of the eleven40 theme they have good looking “next page” buttons on the bottom of the page – my theme only has the regular “previous posts” link there – how can I get those nice looking “next page” buttons?

Once again, thanks in advance for your time and effort to help me out:)

Best wishes from Germany

Marcel

You need to go to your Reading section under Settings and change it there as well.

Thanks. I’ve now changed the number of posts to 10. In the Balance theme it appears that making the change in the home.php file is sufficient for all pages (at tleast the way I’ve got it set up).

Thank you, I used this solution for the Balance theme.
