    I have it set for 5 - but it is still showing 10 or more, I've looked through the child theme folders and all the admin sections (I think) and can't find another setting that might be overriding it. I want to show fewer posts.

    There's 3 ways to limit posts:

    1. Use the Reading Settings
    2. Use the Genesis > Theme Settings > Blog Page Template
    3. Use pre_get_posts

    Thank you very much,

    My problem is that nothing seems to work. I've set the Reading Settings, and the Theme settings and I've put a pre_get_posts function in the functions.php like it showed in the video...and the front page is still showing 10 posts. No chance there is a another way?

    I may end up just taking recent posts off the front page entirely and replacing them with some social media feeds. We just don't want the first page to be so long.
