On my menu item for Front Page Posts, there is a dropdown list to select "# Items Per Page." But the choices given are in 5 post increments. I do not want to display 10 posts on that page, but would prefer an option to display 6 or 8 posts. The reason an even number is important is that an odd number in my two-column format is asymmetrical and ugly.

How can I display only 6 or 8 posts per page?
Unfortunately that is no easier way to add it, but you can modify the code from here JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easyblog/themes/default/elements/pagination.php

I just did it and it didn't work; still shows 10 items. There must be more code to modify, but what is it?

Actually, I figured out what I did wrong and was able to get the right number of posts to display for my "frontpage" menu item. However, the home icon on the toolbar still shows 10 posts and I don't know how to change it.

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a public holiday for us here.

Perhaps you can update us with your site backend access and FTP access so we can better have a check?

It would be best if you can update your site backend and FTP login details on here https://stackideas.com/dashboard/site so you do not need to provide your site access each of your new forum post and it will speed up the support assist you quickly.

By the way, regarding with your issue, it seems like you have created 2 Easyblog frontpage blog listing menu which unable to let the system know which blog menu should use to display the permalink on the toolbar, this is why it always link to your https://attorneygrievances.com/blog .

I already applied some custom code into your current template override file for this JoomlaFolder/templates/yootheme/html/com_easyblog/toolbar/default.php , can you check and see is it work fine now?

You have FTP access through the administrator itself just by clicking on the eXtplorer component.
If one just clicks on the home icon of the navigation bar, it displays 10 posts. If you do it through the Articles menu item under Law Library, it will show 6 as set and if you then click the home icon on the navigation bar, it will show 6. But, again, if you just get into it another way, it will show 10.
I'm not sure where the EasyBlogPaginationSettings are. If you go into other parts of the component that let you choose the number of posts, the changes we made to the menu item settings do not appear, i.e., it will still show 5, 10, 15, 20 ...

But, again, if you just get into it another way, it will show 10.

Hm, the reason why it still show 10 blog on the listing page is because the URL page already changed to https://attorneygrievances.com/blog instead of https://attorneygrievances.com/law-library/articles .

I would suggest you that change your menu type to "Grid blog layout" (screenshot : http://take.ms/Iuuov) for this articles menu item. So that when the user click that "articles" link from the main menu, it will load this menu page but when the user click that 'home' icon from the Easyblog toolbar, it will navigate to https://attorneygrievances.com/blog which is show 10 blog post on the first page.

Perhaps you can share to me some of the screenshot which setting you referring to? Because some of the part is not render it from that PHP file.

I don't think you understand. Clicking on the Articles link in the menu works perfectly well and only displays 6 posts per page. I want the same behavior when one clicks the home icon on the navigation bar.

Hm, I can said that your current requirement unable to achieve it if you have create another "EasyBlog - (Posts) Frontpage" menu item on your site.

Because Joomla unable to know which "EasyBlog - (Posts) Frontpage" menu item should referring to.

You can see this result on your site now, I have temporary disabled this "Blog" menu item from your site backend, can you check is it show correctly now?

Except I still need the blog url also because I've published that URL elsewhere. Should I just create it with a hidden menu?

Like I did mentioned in my previous reply, I just disabled that "Blog" (EasyBlog - (Posts) Frontpage) menu on your site.

If you enable back that "Blog" (EasyBlog - (Posts) Frontpage) menu on your site, I believe it will still not working because this is how you configure it like previously.

And I have no ideas why you said it working now.
