Not all portfolio pieces are showing on home page

I have 13 portfolio pieces and only 10 of them are showing on the home page. Do I need to code something or is there a setting that I missed somewhere?

Hi Eric,

I don't think there is a limit set on these from the tutorial.

One thing to check would be that all 13 portfolio pieces have a featured image set against them.

EDIT:

If you haven't reached that video yet I've just had a thought on what it could be.

The default posts per page is set to 10.

Can you check Settings > Reading to see what number of posts the Blog pages show at most is set to please? If it is set to 10 can you increase it to say 15 and see if that makes a difference please? You should be able to revert this back when you reach the later videos.

Hi Rich,

All of the images have featured images set. When I add a new piece it boots the tenth piece out so there is always 10 images. That's why I was wondering if there was a setting or something I missed.

Hi Eric,

One other thing to check in the meantime would be content-portfolio.php (if you're at that stage). In a later video this includes:

$num_posts = ( is_front_page() ) ? 4 : -1;

This will mean that on the home page 4 portfolio pieces show but normally all pieces will appear.

It may be related to this.

Hi Rich,

I did not make it to the video with the content-portfolio.php file yet.

Here is my page_portfolio.php:

<?php get_header(); ?>

          <!-- Content Wrapper -->
          <div class="content-wrapper large-12 columns clearfix" data-equalizer-watch>

            <?php


            $args = array(
              'post_type' => 'portfolio'
            );

            $query = new WP_Query($args);

            ?>

            <!-- Gallery Thumbs -->
            <div id="effect-1" class="row small-collapse medium-collapse large-collapse full-width img-hover" data-equalizer-watch>

              <?php if ($query->have_posts() ) : while ($query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
              <?php

              $image_url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ) );

              ?>
              <div class="img small-12 medium-6 large-3 columns left hover">                
                <a href="<?php echo $image_url; ?>" class="fresco"><?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?></a>
                <div class="overlay">
                  <span class="expand"><?php the_title(); ?></span>
                  <a class="close-overlay hide">x</a>
                </div>                
              </div>
              <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>                                                       
            </div>
            <!-- End Gallery Thumbs -->                  

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I created my own html based off of foundation.

Hi Rich,

The amount of blog post setting is it!

Thank you very much for taking the time to help.

No problem, I should have thought of that earlier really but narrowing the stage you were at in the course helped :)
