Changing the # of blog posts showing on Education Pro

[webcami]

Can someone help me figure out how to change the #of blog posts setting on the education pro theme?

What I would like to do is limit the homepage blog post area to THREE, but have the BLOG and all archive posts set at 10.

I have tried editing the theme defaults file: theme-defaults.php (lib/theme-defaults.php)

I have tried changing it in theme settings.

No luck.

I am also designating what displays on the homepage blog area with this snippet:

I would also love to have a h2 tag with a title above the homeblog - maybe it's in the same theme-defaults.php file?

Can you post the code in your theme-defaults.php file and any other relevant code? It looks like you meant to post some but nothing is showing.

Also, as a friendly heads-up, you're technically not supposed to use "wordpress" in a domain. This is a common mistake so I thought I'd point it out so you know in the future. http://wordpressfoundation.org/trademark-policy/

I changed everything "3" here to a "10" without results.

Thanks for the info. It's only a mock up site location and blocked from search. It's just where I work on sites before moving them to client hosting.

Solved part of this. Didn't realize the default under reading setting would auto set to 3. Changed it there. Marking as closed.
