Hello,

could you please tell me how I create a view which show only the newest 100 results.
Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Hi, to order by date in reverse chronological order, edit the View and make sure you can see the "Ordering" section. If you cannot see it, scroll to the top right corner and click "Screen Options". Enable Ordering. Then you will choose "post date" and "descending" as the ordering settings.

To display the top 100 results, it's more complicated. You cannot choose a number greater than "50" in the Limit section of the View editor, but you can override the number with some custom code. Here's an example:

add_filter( 'wpv_view_settings', 'tssupp_modify_filter_offset_view', 5, 2 ); 
function tssupp_modify_filter_offset_view( $view_settings, $view_id ) {
  $views = array( 12345 );
  $max = 100;
    if ( in_array($view_id, $views) ) {
        $pagination = $view_settings['pagination']; // get the pagination settings
        $pagination['posts_per_page'] = $max; // modify this number accordingly
        $view_settings['pagination'] = $pagination; // save with updated pagination settings
    }
    return $view_settings;
}

Change 12345 to match the numeric ID of this View. You can also change 100 if you would like to modify the maximum number of results. Add the code to a new code snippet in Toolset > Settings > Custom Code tab, or add it to your child theme's functions.php.

One thing I would like to mention is that the View editor screen will still show an incorrect limit, but the code will override the setting in the View editor screen.

Hi,

so is it 100 per page?
Or maximum 100 results at all?

In this case I need maximum 100. Several pages are okay.

Best regards

Ah, okay I misunderstood. Here is an update that will set a maximum number of total results, while leaving your pagination settings unchanged. Just update the View ID like before.

add_filter( 'wpv_view_settings', 'tssupp_modify_filter_offset_view', 5, 2 );
function tssupp_modify_filter_offset_view( $view_settings, $view_id ) {
  $views = array( 12345 );
  $max = 100;
    if ( in_array($view_id, $views) ) {

        $view_settings['limit'] = $max;
    }
    return $view_settings;
}
