How to limit post on wordpress 

 

By default, the WordPress displays 10 posts per page. But in case you’d like to display more or less posts,
here’s how to do it.

The solution is simple:
You have to use the query_posts() function, which gives you a total control over the WordPress loop.

To specify how many posts you want to be displayed per page, we’ll use the showposts parameter.

Here’s an example:

<?php
$page_num = $paged;
if ($pagenum='') $pagenum =1;
query_posts('showposts=5&paged='.$page_num); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
// WordPress loop
endwhile;endif; ?>

This example loop will displays 5 posts per page.

’.$page_num parameter

allows use to display our content by pages and use a paginator.
