Hello -

I'm just wondering how we could tell MT to keep the excerpts of older posts (last month) on the front page?

I did not produce new posts this month, so the front page became empty (the links are still there) when i made a few changes and recompiled

Guess there is a knob to tweak somewhere, but i don't seem to find it in the documentaion.
Thanks in advance!

Find



and replace it with



replacing 7 with whatever the last number of posts you want to show is. That will show them regardless of date.

But if you wanted entry excerpts, you'd need something different, like You can also use MTArchiveList to display the last month.

Does that help?

working like a charm, many thanks!

So, when you say replace (MTEntries) with (MTEntries lastn="7"), do you mean each iteration of ? Or is there a specific one?

I've got my sidebar set to display the last 20 (MTEntries lastn="20"), but I'd like to have my main column display the last n entries. Currently, it seems to drop my previous month's entries after a certain amount of time. And with a pretty bare month of posts (like this one), I end up with a sparse page.

Thanks in advance.

You'll look for the main instance of MTEntries; probably inside of
That's what controls the central posts on the page.

I found MTEntries several times in the Content ID section:



Do I replace each of those?

I think I've got it now.

Thank you LisaJill! Your MTEntries #posts tip was timely for me and much appreciated.
