Ajith – Using the query_posts() function theoretically should work but it can have a tendency to break the next/previous navigation links. However it's worth trying first

query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page=3');

Put the above before your loop. If that doesn't work then post up in the Blogging Tips forums and we can take it further in there, as you may need to use a plugin instead.

Marian and Syed, thanks for the comments.

Hi,

Thanks for this tip… I had another related query. See, I want to show the in archives the actual number of posts as per the wordpress reading settings (If I say, 5 there, I want 5 posts per page in the archives). However, on the homepage I want to show only 3. The problem for me is that the 'while (have_posts())…loop still fetches 5. If I put a break logic after three, when I browse the previous pages, I loose 2 articles…

Pls help,

Ajith
