11,942 PointsUsing the WP_Query on a custom post type stops after 10 posts
I have followed the coding examples in this video, but for some reason the loop seems to only be outputting 10 of my custom posts. I have a total of 26 posts that need to be looped through. Is the code in the video only good for 10 posts?

If you want all of your posts to show up everytime, you'd have to adjust this count for each post. You could also pass your WP Query an parameter in the arguments that would like like this posts_per_page => -1. This -1 value would query all of the posts onto that one page.
If you're planning on having a growing number of posts like a blog or portfolio, I can't say I'd recommend doing that though. Pagination is a good thing. If you didn't want separate "pages" you could still use pagination in an infinite scroll way. Like how Facebook or Twitter loads new items in your feed. There are multiple infinite scroll plugins that work fine.
