Replace this query:
<?php query_posts(‘show_posts=5′); ?>

With this query:

<!–Change The Amount of Results You Wish To Display Per Page–>
<?php
$offset = "0";
$no_of_posts = "15"; //Number of posts to display on each page
if (preg_match(‘/page/’, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
$uri = explode(‘/’, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
foreach ($uri as $key=>$value) {
if ($value == "") {
unset($uri[$key]);
}
}
$offset = (array_pop($uri) * 15) – 15; //Both These Numbers Should Match the $no_of_posts
}
query_posts(‘posts_per_page=’ . $no_of_posts . ‘&offset=’ . $offset); ?>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content( ‘… Full New »»’, $more_link_text , $strip_teaser, $more_file ); ?>
<div style="height: 26px"></div>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<h1>Woops…</h1><br>
Sorry, no posts were found.
<?php endif; ?>
<?php posts_nav_link(); ?>

And after adding <?php query_posts(‘show_posts=5′); ?> before all this code posts start to show, but they are expanded. At home page they are OK!

Reply from Peter: I don’t know how your plugin code hooks into WordPress, so that would be a question for the plugin author.

<?php
// Include WordPress
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false);
require(‘/mypath/wp-load.php’);
query_posts(‘showposts=1′);
?>

Unfortunatelly it does not work and returns an error:
"Error establishing a database connection"

Can someone help me in this case???
Thanx a lot in advance

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

The simple thing was "big" for me to do.

i didn’t know that it’s so simple to do !

Thanks a lot for the tut !

Best Regs,

If you have a custom template for the home page that interferes with normal post display, you have problems.

THANK YOU for sharing the query_posts solution! that really helped.

*good karma your way*

Reply from Peter: There are parameters “showposts” and “offset” that you can use in the query_posts() function to help with page navigation. Check the documentation for more information.
