Hello,
I start to have many posts (more than 200). They all appear on the main page with a very long vertical scroll bar.
Is there an option to filter and for example only display the 50 latest posts on the home page of a site ?
Regards.

The discussion revolves around filtering the home page to display fewer posts due to the site having over 200 posts, causing a long scroll. peyrusse asks if it’s possible to limit the home page to only show the 50 latest posts. jericson suggests using a Category page as the default, adjusting the top menu order to prioritize categories, and using the desktop category page style setting to improve user experience by showing both categories and latest topics. peyrusse thanks Jon for the suggestion.
It might help to know what problem you want to solve. One possible reason for wanting fewer topics is that it can be overwhelming to new users. In that case, you might try using a variant of the Category page as the default. To do that, adjust the order of the top menu setting so that “categories” are up top:
Then you can experiment with the desktop category page style setting. “Categories and Latest Topics” works pretty well, in my experience.
The advantage for new users is that the list of categories helps people get an idea of what’s on topic and the latest topic section shows a sample of what’s currently being discussed.
Thanks a lot Jon for your answer.
