  Hi all,

  I’m wondering how to define the maximum number of posts a category will display on screen before showing a navigation or pagination control.

  My loop on the top page has my category displaying only 1 post, however when I go to the category homepage, it is displaying every post in the category. That’s fine, I want it to display more than 1 but I need to set a limit on this so that it starts saying something like “view older posts” if there are more than 5 on the page.

  Thanks in advance!

  From WordPress.TV > Changing your reading settings

  The setting that controls the amount of content on your front
  page will also display the same amount for your archived articles.

  Hi,

  I have a follow up question for this one, is it possible to set a different value of maximum posts before pagination on a specific category page??
