Ghost theme display more than 5 posts per page

Question

How can I display more than 5 posts in the loop on the homepage of a theme?

I have the standard loop:

{{#foreach posts}}
  <h2 class="post-title">{{{title}}}</h2>
{{/foreach}}

I have 7 posts in total, but can only display 5 per page, it seems to forcibly paginate at 5 posts.

Is there any way I can get around this?

Hi, @Nicekiwi! Could you maybe remove the check mark from my answer because it isn’t the right one anymore and I would like to remove, which is only possible when it isn’t tagged as the accepted answer anymore. — PDXIII, Jan 09 '18 at 13:12

Since Ghost v1.0, you can change this now by editing the theme's package.json under config. The default Casper theme is probably a good place to look for reference:

"config": {
  "posts_per_page": 25
}

By default, Ghost is showing only 5 posts per page. You can change that in the blog settings under general, where you can upload your blog icon and cover, too.

But it can’t be removed because it was tagged as the accepted answer !

With new versions of ghost, this answer is outdated. – Ben Aubin Sep 27 '17 at 01:13

I just had the same issue for my blog.

There are 2 ways you can go about it.

1) Use limit

{{#foreach posts limit="7"}}
 <h2 class="post-title">{{{title}}}</h2>
{{/foreach}}

2) Edit the posts_per_page variable in packaga.json (This will apply to all posts)

//package.json

"config": { "posts_per_page": 7 }
