Results per page won't update/not working

Hello,

We are having an issue with the “Results per page:” setting on the general tab not updating the number of search results per page. We seem to be stuck at 5 search results per page: Courses Archive Search Results Page

I also tried resetting the results per page with the pre_get_posts action to no avail. Here’s that code:
`
// Set Posts per page
function wpd_courses_query( $query ){
if( ! is_admin()
&& $query->is_post_type_archive( ‘courses’ )
&& $query->is_main_query() ){
$query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, 10 );
}
}
add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpd_courses_query’ );
`

Any help would be much appreciated.

As you say, something very odd. I will wait to hear back from you.

So, I can deduce that something is setting this 5 posts per page, and it is not the standard WordPress setting (in the Reading options in settings), nor our plugin.

It will be one of these things:

1. The theme. Via a theme function, a template file, or the functions.php file.
2. Custom code
3. Another plugin

The only possible plugin I can see SROM Courses, I checked. It is not there.

What happens if you switch the Divi parent theme?

Ah, it is the Divi theme. Thank you, I didn’t even think to look there as I am not used to a theme setting that.

I guess I will have to see if there is a way to override that with Divi as it is rather annoying that it sets it globally. Also that Search and Filter doesn’t override the setting. For now though, I will just set it through Divi.

Thank you!
