<\/div>\n

If you installed Joomla 3.0 with the blog sample data<\/a>, you will notice in your sidebar a section labeled older posts<\/strong>. You can see in the screenshot to the right where this feature is shown by default. If you\u2019re familiar with WordPress, this Older Posts<\/em> feature would be referred to as a widget, in Joomla 3.0 it is a module.<\/p>\n

In this tutorial, we will show you how to configure the various options available for the Joomla 3.0 older posts module.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

How to change Older Posts settings in Joomla 3.0<\/h2>\n

The following steps will walk you through getting to the config page for this module.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log into your Joomla 3.0 admin dashboard<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. In the top menu, click Extensions<\/strong> and then click Module Manager<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. In the filter feature at the top of the page (where it says Search in module title<\/em>), type older posts<\/strong> and then click the search button. In the list of search results (you may simply have 1), click the Older Posts<\/strong> module.
    <\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. At this point, you are at the configuration screen for the older posts module in Joomla 3.0. Modify any of the settings on this page, and then click the Save<\/strong> button in the top left menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    How to change the number of posts that show<\/h2>\n

    There are too many settings available for this module to review them all, but we will show you one example. By default, 5 posts are shown, but you can easily change this value.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Follow the steps above until you get to step 4, where you are at the configuration screen for this module.<\/li>\n
    2. Click the Filtering Options<\/strong> tab at the top of the page<\/li>\n
    3. Find the setting labeled Count, and change it.\n

      Count<\/strong>
      The number of items to display. The default value of 0 will display all articles.<\/em><\/p>\n

      \"change-number-of-older-posts\"<\/a><\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n

      We changed this value to 3, and then clicked save <\/strong>in the top left of the page. You can see in the screenshot to the right that now only 3 links appear, compared to the 5 that show in the image at the beginning of this article. <\/p>\n
