Can't increase number of events in loop

[Anderson]

I’m having a problem getting more than 10 events to show on the default events list page. I have gone into the plugin settings under “General” and have changed the number of events to 20 under “Number of events to show per page in the loop” but it has no impact. I have also looked at list.php and there doesn’t seem to be anything in the theme file that’s controlling the number of events. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

Hi Krysia,

Sometimes your theme will override the setting for the plugin. You can take control by placing this in your themes functions.php file and modifying the posts_per_page to however many events you want to show:

//show more events on the events list pages
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'set_events_per_page' );
function set_events_per_page( $query ) {
if ( $query->query_vars['eventDisplay'] == 'upcoming' || $query->query_vars['eventDisplay'] == 'past' && $query->query_vars['post_type'] == TribeEvents::POSTTYPE && !is_tax(TribeEvents::TAXONOMY) && empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) {
$query->set('posts_per_page', 2);
}
return $query;
}

I hope that helps but let me know if you need anything else.

Not sure why but this still isn’t working. It’s determined to show 10 events.

Strange, what is your permalink structure set to? Try setting it to Postname. Does changing the setting in Settings > Reading do anything?

That doesn’t work either. If there’s anything else you can think of let me know, otherwise I’ll do some more work on my end soon, and will share what the solution was when I figure it out.

Hi Krysia,

I would suggest deactivating all other plugins and try reverting your theme to Twenty Eleven to see if it’s something with your theme that’s overriding this setting. If it is in your theme you’ll need to dig through and figure out what it is. Good luck and let us know what you find!
