Here are two that I know of: [http://mattread.com/archives/2005/03/custom-query-string-plugin/](http://mattread.com/archives/2005/03/custom-query-string-plugin/) [http://rephrase.net/miscellany/05/perpage.phps](http://rephrase.net/miscellany/05/perpage.phps) * Thread Starter [sodypop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sodypop/) * (@sodypop) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-limit-posts/#post-284255) * is it just me? i cannot find a download link for the custom query string plugin on that page. it looks like it would do the trick! i just can’t figure out where to download it. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-limit-posts/#post-284260) * No, it’s not only you: [http://mattread.com/archives/2005/11/my-plugins/](http://mattread.com/archives/2005/11/my-plugins/)( I didn’t know about it) * Thread Starter [sodypop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sodypop/) * (@sodypop) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-limit-posts/#post-284261) * i found a solution. * * using query posts you can set how many to show. i just set my main prefs for 9999 and that way i can choose per category this way! * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-limit-posts/#post-284264) * When I see settings like “9999” I always get scared, LOL Recently I helped to move a blog from blogger to WP and in the moment when we did the import it had about 7,850 posts! (Now they are already over 8,000…) Now imagine visiting that blog – and waiting for download – if they set it to show 9999 posts 😉 * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-limit-posts/#post-284308) * Good news, if you want to download the custom query string: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/49605](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/49605) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘NOT limit posts’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [limit](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/limit/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 6 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * Last activity: [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-limit-posts/#post-284308) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
