WordPress, The loop: display just 2 posts

4 comments

1. Use query_posts():

   query_posts('posts_per_page=2');
   

   before the loop.

   Excerpt from the documentation page:

   query_posts() can be used to display different posts than those that would normally show up at a specific URL.

2. Try this:

   <?php
   // Printing post number 1 and 2
   for($i = 1; $i < 3; $i++){
       the_post();
   }
   ?>

3. for($i = 0; $i < 2; ++$i) {
          post_here();
   }

4. You can use the WP_Query class, to avoid mixing the globals posts with your custom loop

   $results = new WP_Query('posts_per_page');
   
   if ($results->have-posts()) {
       while ($results->have_posts()) {
           $results->the_post();
           the_title();
       }
   }
   
   unset($results);
