  Hi, I’m using the Penscratch 2 theme. How do I get it to display 10 posts per page, instead of just 1? Right now, at the bottom of the post, there is a button to the next (or previous) post, but I’d rather have the next post right below.

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

  Hi fortielser,

  The number of posts per page can be changed in your writing settings:

  https://wordpress.com/settings/writing/fortielseronline.wordpress.com

  Scroll down to “Blog posts” and enter the number you would like.

  I hope this helps.

  Maybe I can ask you something else ;) Can people not simply like a post? I see no buttons for that after each post. Also, is there a way to reverse the chronological order so the eldest post is shown first?

  Hi,

  If you want to show your post in a reverse chronological order you can use a shortcode. For example, it might look like this:

  [display-posts order="ASC" image_size="thumbnail" include_content="true"]

  You can paste it into your posts page. Click Update or Preview to see if you are happy with the result. You can control how your posts are display by changing Arguments. You can choose from showing the full post or only an excerpt, date, author, tags or/and categories.

  More info on shortcodes you can find here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/

  If you want to have people like your posts you can navigate to Sharing > Sharing Buttons from your admin page under Configure.
  https://wordpress.com/sharing/buttons/me
  From there you can Edit the Like and Sharing buttons.

  You can read more about Like button on this support page:

  Hi fortielser,

  Sharing/like buttons are already being displayed on single posts:

  https://fortielseronline.wordpress.com/2018/03/14/midnat/

  You also have the option to add these buttons to the blog view from the Sharing page:

  https://wordpress.com/sharing/buttons/fortielseronline.wordpress.com

  Select “Front Page, Archive Pages, and Search Results” and they should appear once this change has been published.

  @baldfreud — thanks for the information you shared about ordering posts!
