Hi all,

I am trying to limit my frontpage to 1-full-post. At the same time I want all archives and searches to display more than one result per page. Changing the "Blog pages show at most" Value under Admin -> Settings -> Readings affects not only the Frontpage, but also archives.

How can I manually adjust one of the values without too much hacking? I am using the Autofocus+ Child Theme http://fthrwght.com/autofocus/plusdemo/

My initial thought was to use a conditional function like this:

function my_custom_query() {

if (is_archive()) {
global $query_string;
query_posts($query_string . "&showposts=5");
}
}
add_action('thematic_above_indexloop','my_custom_query');

… which does not work.

Any ideas?

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cbnet-different-posts-per-page/ does the trick, even though I would prefer to have it hard-coded via hook/filter.

Hi Stephan,

you have two options:

1.) Add one function, covering all changes, or several functions to thematic_above_indexloop, thematic_above_categoryloop, and so on (the templates are using different action hooks)

2) Add one function, covering all changes, to thematic_navigation_above.
