Front Page Options Problem

    The only small hitch I found in setting up 5 sites with Neo was with the category settings in Front Page options. Three sites went without a problem, but on two sites, even though I’d selected 5 post excerpts for the front page, the same as the other three, about 10 more posts appeared below the five excerpts as shortcuts. I tried resetting and clearing the settings manually in Front Page options but to no avail, the list of shortcuts still appeared. They were also from categories I had tried to deactivate. In the end, I activated infinite scroll and fetch as a work around and it solved the issue. But I would like to be able to control the Front Page options a little better, and be able to restrict the home page to five excerpts. Maybe in a future update.

    If something works in three sites, but not the other two, there is something different about the other two that is causing the issue.

    Did you try actually deleting those categories, or just reassigning the posts to another category?

    Control them in what ways? There are lots of possibilities, but I have had similar thoughts as well.

    I think I’m a little confused by the Front Page Options settings box, and the difference between ‘Number of posts to show with excerpt’ and ‘Display recent posts by category’ and what they actually do. I’ve tried a lot of different settings and limiting categories.

    I am trying to limit the excerpts on the front page to the 4 or 5 recent post excerpts, with the page navigation bar then at the bottom.

    I checked back on the two sites that I thought we ok, but they have the same problem if I turn off infinite scrolling. The first 5 excerpts are fine, but then comes a long list on one line links to other posts.

    Apart from this little issue, everything else is working very well.
