Custom Posts Per Page allows you to specify how many posts are displayed per page depending on your current view. Once settings are changed, the Blog pages show at most setting in the Reading menu will be ignored.
Settings are available for:
<ul>
<li>Home (Index) Page
<ul>
<li>As long as view is set to blog posts, not static page.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Category Pages</li>
<li>Tag Pages</li>
<li>Author Pages</li>
<li>Archive Pages</li>
<li>Search Pages</li>
<li>Default Page (Any page not covered above.)</li>
<li>Custom Post Type archive pages
<ul>
<li>All Custom Post Types are detected automatically.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Each of the above settings can have a different value for the first page displayed and subsequent paged views.
Custom Posts Per Page makes it easy to manage exactly how your content is displayed to your readers, especially when different views have different layouts, rather than relying on the single setting in the Reading menu or having to hard code options in your custom theme.

Thank you so much for making this plugin!



Saved a lot of time and is a great addition

Custom Posts Per Page provides a settings page in your WordPress admin that allows you to specify how many posts are displayed for different views.

NOTE: This plugin is no longer necessary as of WordPress 2.8 as this functionality is now built-in under the “Screen Options” slide-down menu.
Control the number of posts per page, pages per page, and comments per page that appear in the admin listings of posts, pages, and comments.
By default, WordPress lists only 15 posts in the admin listing of posts and 20 for pages and comments. There is no built-in way to change how many posts/pages/comments to list. This makes paging through the post/page/comment listings very cumbersome, and limits the number of posts/pages/comments you can see at any one time. This plugin provides a dropdown selection field allowing a choice of 5, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, or 250 per page limits. Each section (post, page, comments) has its own limit separate from the others, and the limits are considered a user preference and not a global setting (so each admin/author can set the limits to their liking without affecting other admins/authors).
