Only 20 blog posts?!

Hi everybody,

I am a bit shocked to learn that a blog page can only display 20 posts. After which, a terribly discreet arrow directs the viewers to a secondary page. This is entirely inadequate and in effect cuts the content of my site in half. I also want to add more posts which means this will just get worse. 

Does anyone know how to change the site so that all blog posts appear on the front page? 

I would rather not use the grid feature as it is only a temporary fix - the maximum there is also only 30 posts. 

Hello @TAP_MB,

Based on experience, this is not going to resolve itself anytime soon. It's best to find another route for a solution. You are probably going to want to use the summary block and use one of these options:

Go to link below and look for the plugin called "Infinite Scroll" or "Infinite Scroll Filter". These will both increase the 30 summary block limit. The second one allows for tabs to be added.

Best of luck!

I've been using the lazy-summaries plugin for my website (www.halftijds.be/vacatures) and it works great! I'm using a summary for events here but it should also work with blogposts.

Seconding Margothermans. The lazy summaries plugin worked like a charm and was pretty easy to drop in. Broken English on the link gave me a bit of pause initially but worked great!

Was there ever a better solution implemented here? Surely it should be easy to increase the number of blog posts on display in a grid. I am still limited to 20.

Hi, if you do a search on the forum , there are a lot of threads that have covered this topic in detail. 

In short, you need to use summary block, you can achieve the same look as blog page.

The free workaround is to use summary block, this has a limit of 30. If you need more, you can have more than 1 block and so on.  You'll need to do some work using categories or tags to sort and filter them to how you want to display them.

Or

Plugins, the Lazy Load Summaries has options to load infinite items on a summary block. Or a Load More button.
