Limit Number of Posts on Home Page (Mocha)

[Deborah Robinson]

I bought the Mocha child them quite some time ago but since the 1.9 release of the Genesis framework the grid loop code on home.php doesn't allow you to limit the number of posts on the home page. Frankly, I think the Mocha theme should have been updated after 1.9 release of the Genesis framework since it was this release that caused the problems with the grid loop on the home page.

I submitted a support ticket and was referred to the tutorial at http://www.billerickson.net/customize-the-wordpress-query/#example-category

But this tutorial was not helpful as I don't want to exclude a category on the home page, I just want to limit the number of posts on the home page. I was told by support that I would have to customize the Mocha theme's code or hire someone to do it for me. Which is unacceptable because the Mocha child theme should have been updated with the 1.9 release which caused the theme's code to stop working as it was originally intended. Why should have to pay someone else to fix the problems Genesis developers caused in the first place?

The website using Mocha is at the url: http://www.efashion.net.au/

I can't add any additional posts to the website until this issue is corrected, otherwise all the posts will appear on the home page. Does anyone have a fix for this issue?

Thank you.

Use this code: http://www.studiopress.community/topic/eleven40-theme-how-to-set-a-different-loop-for-the-homeopage/#post-56773

Tested and working fine.
