  In stead of the “load more” button down the homepage, to see more posts, I would like to break the homepage into more pages so you can see older posts by clicking a button “older posts”.

  Where can I find these settings?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Disable infinite scroll at Settings > Reading > To infinity and beyond.

  You can also modify the number of posts per page at Settings > Reading > Blog pages show at most “x” posts.

  Thanks so much for your reply.
  The problem is that when I go to Settings I only have the following options:

  General
  Writing
  Discussion
  Analytics

  There’s no reading there!! How is that possible and where can I possibly find it?

  edit: I found it now, I was on my dashboard settings where it didn’t show.

  And I found out that I already disabled the Scroll to infinity and beyond option…..??? So it was never enabled!!

  You should be able to reach the Reading Settings page via the dashboard. I refer to the classic dashboard: https://wearingblack.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php.

  Are you talking about the site http://wearingblack.com/? You reported that you have a “load more” button instead of an “older posts” button at the bottom of the front page. That would indicate that infinite scroll was activated. Now http://wearingblack.com/ has an “older posts” button, indicating that infinite scroll is deactivated.
