 * Still trying to limit the number and type of posts which appear on the front 
   page.
    I tried setting posts to “archived” but these still appear but with “archived”
   as part of the header. What in Engima theme determines which posts appear on 
   the front page? Category? Date? Type? or what else?
 * Thanks

 * Hello,
 * bobjgarrett
 * first create child theme using given [link ](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/)
   after creating child theme copy file home-blog.php from main theme folder and
   paste in child theme folder now open file home-blog.php of child theme folder
 * go to line number 18 see code of blocks
    `$args = array( 'post_type' => 'post','
   posts_per_page' => $posts_count ,'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1)`;
 * replace it with following code
 * `$args = array( 'post_type' => 'post','posts_per_page' =>5,'ignore_sticky_posts'
   => 1,'category_name' =>'category_slug_name');`
 * now change number 5 as your require number. and set category_slug in category_name
   it will limit the post
