  Hi There,

  I have published eight posts on my site, but only five or six are visible
  on my site. I thought I had set my page to show up to 100 posts,
  but maybe I did not use the right setting?

  Thanks for your help. I love how well WordPress works which means that
  you folks who work there are doing an awesome job, much appreciated!

  Howdy,

  It looks like you’ve set a static front page at Settings -> Reading, so you’ll want to be sure to set a posts page as well.

  First, create a new page (Pages -> Add New) and name it “Posts” or something similar. Leave it blank, but be sure to publish it.

  Then, go to Settings -> Reading, and assign it as your posts page.

  All of your posts will be available from your new posts page, so you’ll probably want to add the page to your menu:

  Menus

  Finally, you should limit the number of posts that display on a page to 10 or 20. Your readers will always be able to browse through your older posts, but by limiting the number of posts that appear on a page, you help make the pages load faster.

  If you’d like more posts to appear in your Recent Posts widget, simply go to Appearance -> Widgets, and edit the widget.
