I'm trying to take 12 posts per a page, but it displays only 4 posts.

Has anyone encountered this problem?

Current Code

$paged = get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

$args = array(

    'post_type' => 'post',

    'posts_per_page' => 12,

    'order' => 'DESC',

    'paged' => $paged,

);

$lists = new WP_Query($args);

echo $lists->post_count; // this outputs 12!



<ul>

    <?php if ($lists->have_posts()) : ?>

        <?php while ($lists->have_posts()) : $lists->the_post(); ?>

            <li>

                <div>

                    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

                </div>

            </li>

        <?php endwhile; ?>

    <?php endif;

    wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

</ul>

My Answer:
't work in WordPress?

There could be several reasons why the posts_per_page parameter is not working in WordPress. Some possible reasons include:

1. Incorrect syntax: Make sure that you are using the correct syntax for the posts_per_page parameter in your query. It should be set as a key-value pair in the query arguments array.

2. Theme or plugin conflict: Sometimes, a theme or plugin may be overriding the posts_per_page parameter in your query. Try deactivating any plugins or switching to a default theme to see if the issue persists.

3. Custom query modifications: If you are using a custom query to display posts, make sure that you are correctly setting the posts_per_page parameter in your query.

4. Caching issues: If you are using a caching plugin, it may be caching the query results and ignoring the posts_per_page parameter. Try clearing the cache or disabling the caching plugin to see if that resolves the issue.

5. Database corruption: In rare cases, database corruption or issues with the WordPress installation may cause the posts_per_page parameter to not work as expected. Try repairing the database or reinstalling WordPress to see if that resolves the issue.
