  I have the theme “delicacy” and have told it to limit the number of posts to 12 under settings. It’s not working. I still have 20+ posts showing up on the home page.

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

  Your blog has infinite scroll enabled. Staff have been introducing “infinite scroll” to themes — a site wide change that will be applied to all themes that are suitable for the implementation.

  Settings > Reading
  To infinity and beyond __ Scroll Infinitely
  (Shows 7 posts on each load)

  Disabling the infinite scroll feature to get rid of the pop-up in the footer results in a “Load More Posts” tab, and you can’t disable that “Load More Posts” tab from appearing and have “previous post” and “next post” links, without the Custom Design upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/

  Told by who?

  It would depend on the length of each post I guess, but look into this and see if it will help:

  @notawoodpecker
  Post length has nothing to do with this issue.
  What specifically did you find lacking in what I posted above?

  Oh rats! Now I see what happened. My comment is in the spam filter. :(

  Thanks. That seems to have done the trick.
