• Hello,

    I would like to be able to do 2 things to my static home page:

    1. Change the title of “Recent Posts” to “Upcoming Events”
    2. Change the default of showing the 5 most recent posts to display more posts, say 10 for now.

    How can I update the CSS to achieve the objectives listed above?

    Thanks,

    -bill

    OK, I think I have figured out how to change the title. I added the following to additional CSS:

    .page-title, .recent-posts-title {
    font-size: 0;
    }
    .page-title, .recent-posts-title:after {
    content: “Upcoming Events”;
    font-size: 35px;
    }

    I still need help in configuring how many events (posts) display. I would like to have more than 5.

    Hi there,

    The Ixion Theme should give you the option to increase the amount of recent posts on your front page under Settings > Reading:

    https://walnutbeachassociation.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

    Let me know if that does not work for you.

    Thanks,

    Thanks, but this does not work. This is already set to show 10 posts, but as mentioned, only 5 are shown. I am not sure if it is because this is set to show a static home page or not, but the setting did not fix the issue.

    Hi there,

    Where exactly are you expecting that many posts to show?

    The Reading Settings post count control how many posts load at a time on the posts page on your site, and if I open https://walnutbeachassociation.com/events-2-2/, which appears to be your posts page, it loads 7 posts for me, which seems to be how many posts you’ve published on your site thus far.

    If you’re speaking of the Recent Posts section on the front page, that only displays the five most recent posts, as also mentioned in this theme’s documentation at https://wordpress.com/theme/ixion

    This cannot be modified using CSS. To change this you’d have to create a child theme and modify the PHP file controlling that front page section to increase the limit. We’re not able to help you with that type of change.

    I am speaking about the front page. Thanks for the reply – it is unfortunate that this setting can not be changed. I am finding the Ixion theme more and more rigid and inflexible – perhaps I will switch the site to a new theme. Thanks again for the feedback.
