How to make more posts appear on my homepage

    Dear WordPress Team,

    Currently there are 3 slots for new posts on my homepage and I need to make an adjustment so that more of them (probably 10) can appear there. I have followed the instructions in other forum posts by going to Settings > Reading > Blog pages show at most and changing the number, but it did not work on my site. It could not be due to unsaved changes, since I clearly remember saving before reloading my site.

    My site is at irinabougainvillea.wordpress.com, and I am using the Gateway theme.

    I hope this minor problem can be fixed as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.

    Irina

    Hi Irina,

    The setting you refer to only applies to the page on the site set as the posts page. You don’t currently have a posts page set on your site.

    The Gateway theme you’re using has a special front page template, and that template can display up to 3 featured posts on your site. You assign a post as featured by assigning a special featured tag to the post. If you don’t designate any post as featured, it will show the 3 most recent posts instead. This is explained in the theme support page at https://wordpress.com/theme/gateway

    There is no way to have the front page template display more than 3 posts.

    If you want a posts page that lists all posts on your site, publish a new page without any content. You can title the page whatever you want.

    Then go to My Site ->Design ->Customize ->Homepage Settings, and select the new page you created under the Posts Page heading.
