Fine grained control of how many of your posts appear on each of the various WordPress archive pages.

== Description ==

Advanced Posts per Page gives you fined grained control over how many of your posts appear on each of your various WordPress archive pages.

`Blog pages show at most x posts` is not the only per page setting anymore.

== Installation ==

Use the WordPress plugin install, or...

1. Grab the plugin's zip file by clicking the big orange button
2. Unzip it and upload the `advanced-posts-per-page` directory your `wp-content/plugins` directory
3. Activate and enjoy!

If you're interested in using the "development version", this plugin is also [on github](https://github.com/chrisguitarguy/Advanced-Posts-Page).

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where are this things settings? =

Advanced post per page does not add a settings page. You can find all its options under `Settings > Reading`

= How can I just use the default posts per page on a given archive? =

Just set that archive's value to `0`

= How can I show all my posts on a given archive page? =

Set the archive's value to `-1`

= Does this support custom post type archives? =

Yes. Assuming you set `has_archive` to `true` when the post type we registered, the post type should show up in the options.  See the screenshots for an example.
