    Hello! First of all, thank you for this great theme!

    The filters work with the default query, but as soon as I try to customize the query (I want more posts per page) it stops working. Why is that? I feel like I am missing something basic!

    Thanks again!

    Hi @abigailsmiller,

    I’m not sure what’s causing it to happen, but you can modify the posts per page setting at Settings → Reading as well. Try changing the “Posts per Page” value there and see if that works.

    Edit: Oh, and thank you!

    Hi Anders, thanks so much for your speedy reply and clever idea!

    Unfortunately, changing the posts per page via Settings → Reading didn’t work. Then I tried creating Project Tags archive template (since that is where the filters take you) but that didn’t seem to make any difference either. I’ll let you know if I figure this out! I still have the feeling that I am missing something that’s right in front of me…

    Thanks again,
    Abigail

    Just wanted to add, changing the posts per page via Settings didn’t change how many posts actually show up on the front end, but it did change the block markup, which I can see in the code view of the Loop template part. It seems like that is a WordPress issue, rather than a me issue or a Poe issue: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/41548

    I also wish that, since not all the posts are displayed, there was pagination so that you could get to the other posts. I have been very slow to try Full Site Editing, and the learning curve is real! Which is why I wanted to start with such a small, simple site—but apparently not quite small enough!

    Hey @abigailsmiller,

    Ah, for Jetpack Portfolio, you can set the number of posts shown on archive pages at Settings → Writing → Your Custom Content Types. You can read more here.

    For the pagination to show, you need to make sure that you have added a pagination block inside of the Query Loop block when you’re editing the Portfolio Archive template.

    Hi Anders, thank you so much, that was it! Haha, I was right that there was something super basic that I was missing… and wrong about everything else!

    And thank you explaining that the pagination block goes inside the Query Loop block. That seems very obvious to me now—same as the classic template—but I was so confused that there was no pagination block in the block editor, since I wasn’t in the Query Loop.

    Again, thank you so much for all your help!
