Custom Post Limits v2.6

Where can I find version 2.5 to redownload?

With version 2.5, when I limit the top parent category to 1 post, the page navigation isn’t displayed and with the child categories, I limit it to three posts and the page navigation is displayed if there are more than 3 posts.

With version 2.6, now the parent category will have a page navigation to all posts to also include the child categories. Grrr!

I thought maybe the category assigment was the issue, but it wasn’t.

My heirachy [sp] for each top category: I only have a parent category (top) and 1 level of child categories under it. It doesn’t go any deeper. Each parent category only has one post. Each child categories has many posts.

Each post only has one category assigned to it (I don’t assign multiple categories to one post).

So I want to revert, can I have the earlier revision?

Hello,
This is great, thanks. It works on all my category pages but on my home page it is not working. I set my home page limit — and my category limit — to 8 posts. On my home page there are 24 posts. Once you go to the subsequent pages there are only 8, but that home page is overloaded.

Any insight into why this is happening? I’ve made a few pages “sticky”, too.

Thanks!
Alison

Thank you for the plug! It is very urgent for absolutely any version of WordPress.

Thank you so much for this plugin. It is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to make archive/tag pages have more posts since they only contain excerpts; and the front page to have less posts since it contains full-length posts. Well, Custom Post Limits does just that, works fine with WP PageNavi, and is super easy to install and configure. Thumbs up.

Hi there,
I’m trying to implement your plugin “custom post limits” but I’ve run into two snags

1. it displays “older posts/newer posts” at the top and bottom. Is there anyway to do it at the bottom

2. where do I go to style the link and/or add a class to it.

Thanks!

Oh, and a feature suggestion: Another option to limit the posts on pages that are generated by the is_home() function, but are not the first page of the site.

Here’s my situation:

With my current site I have the default post limit set to 10. Then I used your plugin to set the “Front Page Limit” to 3.

However, this means that all of the blog posts generated by is_home() are limited to 3. Generally speaking that means all pages generated by home.php will be limited to 3 posts. Meaning that when I click the “Older Posts” link at the bottom of the front page I’ll only see 3 posts on paulhastings.me/page/2/.

I’d really like to see 10 posts on paulhastings.me/page/2/, paulhastings.me/page/3/, etc. but see only 3 posts on the first home page.

This situation isn’t to be confused with the “Archives Limit” section which is working fine. A good example would be: paulhastings.me/2011/01/ . That page is generated by archive.php from the is_archive() function.

Hopefully that all made sense. If you have any questions then just shoot me an email.

Thanks,
-Paul

I’m still getting the weird SQL errors as reported on the Custom Post Limits v2.0 post (see my comment from September 12, 2009). This is with the latest 2.6 version of the plugin.

Here’s an example error:
[19-May-2011 11:57:20] WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘1.844674407371E+19, 9223372036854775807’ at line 1 for query SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_term_relationships.object_id) WHERE 1=1 AND ( wp_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id IN (10) ) AND wp_posts.post_type = ‘post’ AND (wp_posts.post_status = ‘publish’) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 1.844674407371E+19, 9223372036854775807 made by require, wp, WP->main, WP->query_posts, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts

I’m using version 3.5 and getting a notice when using the plug-in. Here is a trivial patch to fix it:
