Advanced Settings 3

Adds settings that you might expect to find in the WordPress core.

<p>This is a pretty simple plugin.  I wrote it because I have thousands of posts on my blog and I often have twenty or more posts scheduled to be posted.  WordPress defaults to only showing you the latest fifteen (15) posts on the “Posts” list page.  Now you can change this so you can view up to 9,999 posts per page.  (Although I don’t recommend showing more than a few hundred at a time.)</p>


David’s Admin Post Control

Allows you to control the number of posts displayed in lists in the WP Admin.
