Sorry for what is probably a stupid question.

I might be totally blind, but I cannot find the place to specify how many places are shown on a given page.

Hi,

that is a WordPress option and you can find it in Settings >> Reading >> Blog pages show at most.

Thanks.

I can understand using a global value like this for a site that is only a directory, but it would be really nice to be able to set this on a post-type basis, or even a category level. Also wish there was a way to make the display dynamic to the number of results. It would help to make a directory look less formulaic, especially when you have good photography.

Hi,

you can easily overwrite that via functions.php.

Example:
```
function set_posts_per_page_for_cpt( $query ) {
  if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && is_post_type_archive( 'gd_place' ) ) {
    $query->set( 'posts_per_page', '20' );
  }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'set_posts_per_page_for_cpt' );
```
I haven’t tested this, so use with caution.

otherwise you could try a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-posts-per-page/

Let us know how you went,

Thanks
