Wordpress question - increasing post count

[thecableguy]

I'm using the latest upgrade and widgets in the sidebar, however the max number of posts displayed is 15. Is there anyway to increase that number using widgets or do I need a plugin? Or can I modify the code someplace?

Thanks

Alan

HI Alan,

You can always add a bunch of plr stuff to the db and increase the count. Or if you wish you can have the count increment by +5 per post for example.

Are you getting a counting error or are you getting limited to 15 posts? You may also want to make sure this is not a cache issue.

Success, Sam

Thanks Sam

No I'm using the posts widget and the max number of posts is 15.

The caffiene just kicked in, you're right though, if I don't use the widgets I won't have that problem. I just gotta go and find a decent 2 column theme.

I don't work with Wordpress widgets, so I can't speak for them, but there's definitely a way to get any number of previous posts to display. The code is

<?php get_archives('postbypost', '10', 'custom', '', '<br />'); ?>

This code would display the last 10 posts, with a line break between them. You can change the number to anything you want, and replace the line break with other code if you wish (like list tags). You would put the code directly in your Wordpress template.

Thanks for the link. Still looking for a 2 column template when I find one I'll try it out (after the caffine kicks in a bit more
