Customizing blog page posts

[JarrahMember]

Hello,

Sorry if this is a massive noob question, but would appreciate any help because I couldn’t find any relevant settings.

I am using the blog as my home page.

Like many blogs, I would prefer to have only the newest post show in its entirety and the others be excerpts, but there in only an option for all of them to be excerpts.

Also, how can I limit the number of blog posts (excerpted or not) displayed on the main blog page?

Thanks for your help.

For the first question, you really can’t do that without getting into a lot of customization. Which is beyond the scope of the support here.

You could also try a plugin.

For the second question go to:
Dashboard > Settings > Reading > Blog pages show at most
Select how many posts you would like. Default is 10.
