Wordpress - post on multiple pages

[zoner7]

Hey,

I posted this on the wordpress.com forums and didn't receive a response. perhaps someone here can give me a hand

Whenever I write a post on my blog schoolisagame.com, the post simply goes above the last post I wrote. This is a good and well; however, the posts never go to another page. They just keep piling up on top of one another. The page is getting ridiculously long, and I need a way to split up the posts onto separate pages. Take a look at the page, and you will understand what I'm saying.

Also, where can I find the link to my rss feed?

Thank you in advance,
-nick

There's a Wordpress setting that allows you to choose how many posts go on the front page - just find that setting and change it to what you want.

Hola Nick.

From your control panel go to the settings tab. then Reading.

It will ask you "Blog pages show at most" ... I think default is 10 posts. Change it to something smaller like 3-5 then save and it will list that many posts per page.

Something else to consider is you've got one post that's uber long, the learn the material before class post. That one accounts for most of the scrolling on your main blog page.

Your blog rss url is School is a Game which is just /feed right after your blog url.

In regards to knowing where you RSS urls are by default wordpress uses the following formats if you've got custom permalinks:
http://example.com/feed/
http://example.com/feed/rss/
http://example.com/feed/rss2/
http://example.com/feed/rdf/
http://example.com/feed/atom/

Thank you so much! Honestly, this is probably the most helpful post I have ever received on a forum.

I guess the only thing I have left to ask is why the one feed works but the other does not...
Here is what I mean:

I use the widget any to any subscribe. That is responsible for the little bar on the upper right of the page (on the side bar) that gives a whole list of aggregates that one can use to subscribe. This button works perfectly.

The other subscription method does not work quite as well. If you click on an individual post, there is another subscribe button at the top of the page. This link does not lead to the schoolisagame.com/blog/feed page. Instead, it directs me to schoolisagame.com/feed. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thank you so much again.

I don't use that widget on my wp blogs but here's what I'd check out based on the installation faqs (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...bscribe/faq/):

How can I customize the feed of the widget? (Useful for comment feeds, category feeds, etc.)

This can be done through the template tag (as described above). Simply supply a feed name and feed URL through the template tag like so:

<?php if( class_exists('Add_to_Any_Subscribe_Widget') ) {
$A2A_SUBSCRIBE_options = array(
"feedname" => "Name of the Feed",
"feedurl" => "http://www.example.com/feed");
Add_to_Any_Subscribe_Widget:isplay( $A2A_SUBSCRIBE_options );
} ?>

//end snippet

I'd want to make sure that what the widget is using the full url to your blog, like the above example.

The problem is coming from that widget assuming that your blog is at a root level not a directory.

That should shed some light.

I appreciate how well my reply has helped you! I like to offer help whenever I get the chance.

Thank you for the help. I figured it out. I tested whether or not the subscribe button on the individual posts was caused by the any to subscribe plugin or something else by temporarily disabling any to subscribe. It turns out that any to subscribe had nothing to do with it.

So then I looked at some screen shots of my theme "desk-mess" and noticed that they all had the same subscribe button that I had. So then I used your suggestion tried editing the root directory in the theme. And wah la. it worked perfectly. Thank you for the help
