What It Does

Custom Posts Per Page Reloaded allows you to specify how many posts are displayed per page depending on your current view. Once settings are changed, the Blog pages show at most setting in the Reading menu will be ignored.

Settings are available for Home (Index) Page, Category Pages, Tag Pages, Author Pages, Archive Pages, Search Pages, Default Page, and Custom Post Type archive pages. Each of these settings can have a different value for the first page displayed and subsequent paged views.

Custom Posts Per Page makes it easy to manage exactly how your content is displayed to your readers, especially when different views have different layouts, rather than relying on the single setting in the Reading menu or having to hard code options in your custom theme.

FAQ

An issue was appearing in plugins that assisted with pagination when the setting for posts per page was different from subsequent pages. To resolve this issue, we do some math and return an incorrect found_posts value when that scenario occurs. This doesn’t affect any core WordPress functionality, but could confuse other plugins that are looking for a correct value. I wouldn’t worry about this much, but keep it in mind if you are seeing issues and have two different values entered as described.
