Wish for more posts in history…
-
When I try to reach all posts within a certain category, only the last one is shown. How do I manage to get a list of ALL posts made with a certain category? I use categories for all my posts and as I use my blog as a training-diary aswell, it would be useful to get “the whole picture” …

Is this your blog? If it is, it’s because you’ve set the blog pages to display only 1 post at a time. If you go to Dashboard > Options > Reading you can change it there; just set it to 3 or however many posts you want. Hope that helps. :) -
I looooooove quick answers ;-)
I used to display 3-5 posts at a time before but something happened that I couldn´t solve any other way than just display one at a time. My posts managed to display in the right column and all the widgets dropped down below the page – strange?!My wish would be;
– to display the first 3 lines in a post and then …read more –>
– to display the 3-5 latest posts at the front page
– to be able to, from each category, display the headline of all posts made thereI really would appreciate some help as I´ve tried to change the reading-options already and with the bad result described in the beginning…

I don’t think the sidebar problem would have been caused by having more posts on the front page; there might have been a piece of code that was causing the problem and changing the number of posts displayed removed that post from the front page, which seemed to fix it.
It should (hopefully!) be safe to revert back to 3 or 5 posts now. If you want to check, just change the number it displays by 1 each time; if the sidebar disappears again, you’ll know you’ve gone too far and can just go back one, and you might also have found the post that’s causing it. But that would be a different problem to solve. :)
The more tag is simple to use, you just add <!–more–> in the code editor where you want the break to appear, but you won’t be able to change the latest posts on the front page without changing the reading options; they control how every page appears on your blog, so the only thing you can do is to try it and see what happens. Worst case scenario, just go back to the previous number and you should be okay.

Ok, so I´ve tried out some different solutions and as far as I can see, there are no options for how many posts shown in History only, ´cause it´s “linked” together with Bloggpages/show x posts, right??! And now I´ve changed it to 3 and it seems to work without any textflows to the right column. Could it maybe have been caused of too big amount of text ;-)
But what about “show the latest x posts”??? Where? In the widget or…?
I really wish someone could help me solve this, as I would need to go back for ex, the last month to get a quick summary.

Yes, the blogpages in reading options displays how your posts will display on ever page of your blog… there’s no way to change how the categories will display and have it be different on the front blog page as well. Some themes display them differently, though; I use MistyLook and it shortens the category posts (like the <!–more–> tag). So you could always try a different theme and see if it suits you better.
By text flow to the right column, you mean you want the text to be smooth and even left to right? There’s an icon for that; you just go to edit a post and select all the text, then use icons 16 and 16c below.
http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/15/what-do-all-the-icons-mean/The “show latest # posts” is in Dashboard > Options > Reading. If you scroll down you’ll see show at most; that’s the number you want to change. Is that what you mean? If you want to change the number of posts that shows in your sidebar, you need to go to Dashboard > Presentation > Widgets and change the Recent Posts widget.
Sorry if any of that isn’t what you wanted… I wasn’t quite sure what you meant. My fault; it’s 5 am here in Aus and I’m not awake yet, lol. :)
