Im using the theme Ideation & Intent.

This is really a wicked theme, but I really dislike how ALL of my posts are being laundry listed on the front page. I thought I could limit it with the settings > reading > blog pages shows at most. But that did not solve it. It only limited the number of posts displayed on those category pages, but not on the home page.

Is there a way to limit the number of latest posts on the front page with this theme?

Much appreciation in advance for your help!

Those with themes that do not have footer widgets can temprarily switch a theme that does have them and place a single empty text widget in any footer are for widgets. Then they can disable infinite ecroll of this page > Settings > Reading disable it, and switch back to their original theme. However, if you disable that premium theme to try that I don't know what will happen.

You have a premium theme and read-access to the premium themes forum is now open to all users so you can search to see if your question has been previously asked and answered there. The premium theme forums are at http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/ with separate sections for each theme.

If you are not successful when searching there is a link for the specific Premium Theme support forum for your theme under Appearance -> Themes in your blog’s Dashboard, but do note that the premium theme must be active and you must be signed in as the user who purchased it in order to see it and post to it.

Just FYI: I used Timethief's workaround this morning to diable infinite scroll on my Vigilance theme. I do have custom CSS changes: I copied them into a Notepad file before changing themes, just in case, but it was unnecessary. I simply switched my theme to Twenty Ten, added an empty text box to Footer #1, unchecked "inifite scrolling" in the Reading settings, and then switched back to Vigilance theme. My CSS changes were all still there when I switched back, so it was a quick, 5-minute fix.

As sacredpath suggests, I'm sure WP will "fix" this workaround at some point, so sadly, I am shopping around for a new site host. But until then, this works....

So as not to lose my custom CSS with a new theme, or try to patch something that seems inevitable, I simply added the following note to my blog - and will keep it there until, hopefully, WordPress adds back the option to opt-out of infinite scrolling:

(Editor’s Note: Recently, WordPress implemented something called “infinite scrolling,” which allows you to over-consume information by simply scrolling down to read post after post after post ad infinitum. But my intent, as the author/owner of this blog, is for you to read each post on its own; to sit with it and enjoy it, unencumbered by the clutter and distraction that is so commonplace in our world today. If you are of like mind, you can click on the title under “Recent Posts” to the right. This should take you to a single page with a single post.)

I've been using Vigilance for years, have paid to customise it, and really resent having this thrust upon me and my readers. Also, there's a very annoying "advertisement" popup while you scroll, with the name of the theme developer and a reminder to blog at wordpress.com. Grrr...

Any chance they'll add an opt-out option for this?

I'm sure for folks who are in a hurry or need to over-consume information, infinite scrolling is wonderful. But I want my readers to sit with what I write, enjoy pieces of it slowly.

But thanks for the feedback...

There is a workaround for disabling infinite scrolling on themes without footer widget areas. It is a little convoluted, but it works, at least for now.

The thing is, virtually all themes here will have it at some point, so there really is no escaping it. I expect at some point staff will figure out how to make it work with footer widgets as well and then that loop hole will probably be gone.

Do the fix timethief outlines and then keep your fingers crossed is about all I have to offer. It would be better than losing all your CSS customization.

One more question...if I switch to another theme, do I lose all of the custom CSS work I've done?
