When I select the category Holocaust, it reads 17 posts — that’s the total Holocaust posts — but when scrolling down from post to post only 11 show up. Why?
I’d like all of the post in the category to show.
Thanks
Howard

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

Only 10 posts show per page by default. Click the link that says “← Older posts” at the bottom of http://loosendsdotme.com/category/holocaust/ to see the rest.

Is it possible to have all the posts from a category to show; like by altering the code.

No. Not unless you enable Infinite scroll on your blog.

@hblume32336,
You should take a look at this shortcode:

It’s a bit complicated but it may be exactly what you are looking for.

I wouldn’t recommend that because if you add too many posts on one page, it will load very slowly and probably discourage visits.

Infinite scroll is, I believe, under either Theme Options or under Reading on the dashboard.

You can enable Infinite Scroll by going to Appearance > Widgets and removing footer widgets and then going to Settings > Reading. Look for the “Scroll Infinitely” option.

You can try it, but if your site starts loading very slowly then reduce the number.

can I change the order they display in

You can stick one or two to the top of the list of posts using the sticky post option:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

You can display posts in chronological order by adding “?order=asc” to the URL. Like this:
http://loosendsdotme.com/blog/?order=asc

If you setup a custom menu, you could create a custom link for “Blog” that points to http://loosendsdotme.com/blog/?order=asc and then anyone who clicked it would see posts starting with the oldest first.
