Override Results Per Page at Template Level

Anonymous

We are using the plugin on a blog archive template that has two loops running on it. The first loop is to just show the most recent post so that we can style it separately as a “featured” post. The second loop contains the rest of the posts as a traditional archive. We’re using Search and Filter to filter the posts that are shown on the archive page – both the “featured” post at the top and the remainder down below. That is all working fine.

Where we’re running into trouble is limiting the results of that first loop to just the first post retrieved. I have ‘posts_per_page’ set to 1, but S&F is overriding that since our form’s setting is set to 12. We don’t want to alter that setting, since we need the 12 posts per page down below where the remainder of the results appear (and are paginated).

Is there a parameter I can add WP_Query to override the number of results per page at the template level for that first loop?

I assume that you are using a PHP template for the page? If you are use a while loop to output the featured posts, you could add a break; command at the end of the loop (before the endwhile) meaning it will loop only once.
