Too many recent posts

  • Unknown's avatar

    A day or two ago, I only had a limited number of recent posts listed…today I have a TON. Is there a bug or something? Doesn’t seem to matter which theme I use. Is it just me?

    WOAH! Two observations. One probably unrelated.
    (1)Usually only ten “recent posts” are displayed by the widget so I recommend sending in a feedback if this happens again but now I see it’s been fixed.
    (2) You have lots of huge photographs and all seem to be on your front page. This makes your page take a very long time to load. Below I’ve included the search string from the FAQs blog as I think you should consider optimising your pictures, reducing their size, getting a free 3rd party account at flickr or photobucket, and using thumbnails only that are linked to the originals in 3rd party storage at flickr, photobucket, etc. http://faq.wordpress.com/?s=images

    If you’re talking about the recent posts list within your sidebar, it’s set to 10. I was thinking that you could set it to a number but a quick check on my test blog shows that we can’t.

    Hmm, well that sucks. :(

    Feedback sent.

    Great, thanks drmike! All better, whatever you did! :)

    Timethief – thanks. My photos are hosted on my own server, so it shouldn’t be that big of a deal. Appreciate the response.

    My ‘Recent Posts’ widget is bust. It’s listing EVERY blog post I’ve ever written. How can I fix this?

    WOAH! It sounds like your blog needs a backend “fix”. I’d be sending in a feedback.
