    Hello all,

    Hopefully this post landed in the right area. I looked under blogging but most were general questions/topics not about technical stuff.

    I am wondering if it is possible to show more than the default number of posts on a category page than on the homepage.

    Example - My wordpress blog default displayed posts is 5. Is it possible to show say, 15 on a single category page?

    Thanks in advance!

    Just to point it out to you, there's a wordpress subforum located here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=110

    And the answer depends on the specific theme you're running. Give the Category Template page out of the codex a look:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates#What_categories_do_you_show_to_the_visitors.3F

    At the very end, there's a section labeled "What categories do you show to the visitors?" See that bit about '.get_option('posts_per_page')? Best bet would be to hard code it with the number you want.

    Not all themes use dedicated category templates though. Please check to see if your's does. If you need help with it, copy and paste the template into a text file and post it somewhere so we can see it please.

    Hope this helps,
