Wordpress post in blog + post in home page

So you struggle with typical WordPress scenario where settings of number of posts listed influence your homepage too ?

if it is so activate again posts for home, instead of static page, and use in Settings tab:

function surfaramachild_home_pagesize( $query ) {
    if ( is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() )
        return;


    if ( is_home() ) {
        // Display 5 post for the original blog archive
        $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 4 );
        return;
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'surfaramachild_home_pagesize', 1 );

Thanks for the reply

But I did not understand

I leave static page and I add this code in the settings tab => CMS code

When I did this nothing happens and if I add the <?php?> have a error message telling me to contact the team themler

Can you please describe to me the demarche to follow?

Dont ad php tags.

And it wont work with static page. Change to post list in WP settings.

Ok, I remove static page and I put the code in setting => cms code

Now how am I then to have the blog page?

PS: Thank you for taking the time to answer me

It comes automatically if you have not removed Post content control from home template.

Unfortunately these explanations are not clear

Could you put the different steps to achieve please?

Settings - Reading - enable Your latest posts. Use this code above. If it doesnt work use this one:

function five_posts_on_homepage( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 4 );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'five_posts_on_homepage' );

Ok I put settings => reading => enable your latest post
I put the code in themler => settings => cms code

And how have I done to my blog page?

;-)

What about "Blog" ?
It is just a word, nothing else. Why do you need it ?
I dont use "Blog" template on any of my webistes, not needed. Dont bother with it, you are limited to just one template. Make your own custom templates for all archive pages.

Listen you is nice but if you do not know answer my question does not do.
For the purpose of a client I need to have on the home page the last 4 posts + a page where you can see all posts.

If you can tell me and if you do not know let somebody else answer.

Thanks

Try widgets. I am not at computer but I noticed that you can insert a widget area in Themler. Then in the wordpress admin, you should have access to that area via widgets.

Which is annoying with widgets is that you can not customize like a post

Therefore I duplicate the model of the home page that I call blog and in wordpress I choose the blog page template for blog page
