    Sorry, line 26 in home.php

    	
    'grid_content_limit'    => 250,
    

    Change the value for the grid content limit parameter from 250 to 500.

    Hi Braddalton
    I have one full latest post on top followed by a grid of 4 posts
    2 on each line

    I think this setting which you mentioned will affect the 4 posts below the full length one

    Am I correct?

    @stodary I didn't test it however do reply back with the result once you change the value to see if it works.
