How to control the number of blog posts in label pages

Blogger defaults to 20 most recent posts are displayed on label pages and provide a link called "Older posts" to
view other posts. To change the number of posts shown on label pages involves editing your template and adding some code which controls the number of posts displayed. It is always good practice to make a full back up of your blog template before making any modifications to the template, so be sure to have done this before implementing this way!

The process is different depending on whether you use a default label list or a label cloud to display your labels, so I will explain each of these separately for you.

Number of posts display

Label List: Decide on the number of posts you would like to be displayed in your label pages, whether this be 5 posts or 50+ (see below for more details about this). And then ensure you have clicked the "Templates" and then click the "Customize" button. You then need to replace every occurrence of this phrase:

data:label.url

With this instead:

data:label.url + "?max-results=n"

Where "n" (you can put here your desire posts number: 5/10/50 etc.) is the number of posts you would like to display on label pages. An easy way to search for all these phrases is to key CTRL+F. You may also like to copy all of the expanded template to Notepad (or your favorite text editor) and change these phrases using the "replace" function instead. Then you would need to paste the modified template over the existing template. Once you've done this, save your template and click on a label to see the change in the number of posts which are displayed.

Label Cloud: On the other hand, to change the number of posts displayed when readers click on an item in your label cloud, find this line in your template:

a.href = lcBlogURL+'/search/label/'+encodeURIComponent(t);

And replace it with this instead:

a.href = lcBlogURL+'/search/label/'+encodeURIComponent(t) +'?max-results=n';

where "n" (you can put here your desire posts number: 5/10/50 etc.) is the number of posts you would like to be shown on labels pages. This section of code will usually appear in the section for the label widget code in your sidebar. Save your template, and then click on an item in your label cloud to see the change in the number of items.

If you would also like the same number of posts to appear when you click on a label link from your post (usually found in the post-footer section), you would also need to replace all occurrences of "data:label.url" as described above.
