    My blog (link in sig) I currently have 8 posts on the homepage, and am wondering how I change it so that it only displays the last 5 perhaps? Ive tried all the settings in Wordpress so now im assuming its a code issue

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Wordpress Dashboard > Settings > Reading

    Or as Joe said, go directly to peterfoti(.)com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

    I have already set the "Show at most" to 4 posts. Is it not syncing with my template?

    Or open the page in question, if it's your homepage then add:


    query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page=-1');
    before the line:
    while(have_posts()) { the_post();

    and change 1 to however many posts!

    I tried that and it still did not work :( It simply makes the first 5 posts featured on the homepage.

    RIght my 5 most recent. But when I put that piece of code in that you gave to me, on my blog it simply darkens the post square and puts a "Featured" banner on the 5 most recent, but the other 6 or so are still there.
