Couple Blogging Questions

URL: http://armourmarketing.com/blog/

If a user clicks my ‘View Blog’ page, they are taken to all of my blog posts, in several pages. In the number of page display in the bottom right corner, it has some strange text: http://screencast.com/t/thAI3Dtf6a

Second part is in the ‘Categories’ that I have listed in the left sidebar, if I click on one of those, how do I get it to just show that selected category blog posts?

Third is how can I get more than 5 blog posts on a page. I’d like to have about 15 or so before they page to the next.

    Hello Matt

    This looks like a conflict with a plugin, there is few JS errors in the developer console:

    VM119:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token o in JSON at position 1(…)

    Please deactivate all plugins and check if you still can replicate the same. If everything is well, activate one plugin at a time to find the one that causes this.

    Follow the steps from the flowchart:

    Hello Matt,

    Hope you are doing good today :slight_smile:

    If a user clicks my 'View Blog' page, they are taken to all of my blog posts, in several pages. In the number of page display in the bottom right corner, it has some strange text: http://screencast.com/t/thAI3Dtf6a

    That appears to be issue with icon fonts. Do you use any custom icon fonts set ?

    If not sure then you can override that with following code. Add below code in Upfront -> Theme Settings -> Global Theme CSS. 

    div#page .upfront-output-region-container .upfront-output-module .u-posts-grid-m .uf-pagination .page-numbers.next:before {
    
content: "»" !important;
    
}
    
div#page .upfront-output-region-container .upfront-output-module .u-posts-grid-m .uf-pagination .page-numbers.prev:before {
    
content: "«" !important;
    
}

    Second part is in the 'Categories' that I have listed in the left sidebar, if I click on one of those, how do I get it to just show that selected category blog posts?

    I can't replicate this issue on my own test site. I can only see posts of that category only.

    Make sure you don't have posts in multiple categories.

    Third is how can I get more than 5 blog posts on a page. I'd like to have about 15 or so before they page to the next.

    To make it show more than 5 posts follow the steps below.

    1. Edit post element in Upfront editor.

    2. In general settings of element select "Post(s) by Taxonomy" for HOW TO DISPLAY POST(S) option (see screenshot).

    [attachments are only viewable by logged-in members]

    3. This will reveal more option under it from where you can set how many posts you want to display on one page by adding value in Limit field (see screenshot).

    [attachments are only viewable by logged-in members]

    4. Done!

    Also, the support staff access is open for live site instead of staging site.

    Note: For future reference, please create separate ticket for each question according to our forum posting rules.

    Best Regards,
