HI again queenb,
the file you need to edit is in the autofocuspro folder. From there go to the extensions directory, and find the file thematic-functions.php.
Around line 311 in my local version, you'll find something similar to this;
<?php query_posts(array(
'post__not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'),
'caller_get_posts' => 1,
'cat' => '-'.$af_blog_catid,
'paged' => $paged,
'showposts'=>4, // dbo change 6-4-11
)); ?>
<?php } //end sticky post check ?>
<?php query_posts(array(
'post__not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'),
'caller_get_posts' => 1,
'cat' => '-'.$af_blog_catid,
'exclude' => $postno,
'paged' => $paged,
'showposts'=>4,// dbo change 6-4-11
)); ?>
You only to need to edit / add the one line, which is the one which begins 'showposts'. Add that if it's not already there, and change the figure to 8 instead of 4.
Please email me if this /doesn't/ work.
best,
Duncan

Hi Duncan,
Thanks for all your help. I added the following and it only displays the last 8 posts which is what i wanted:
'showposts'=>8,// dbo change 6-4-11
However, it doesnt't give me a pagination to see the older ones. Any ideas?
Duncan O'Neill comments:
Do you have a paged paramater, as in the above code, in the array?
queenb comments:
Yes, I have the following:
<!-- #sticky-feature -->
<?php } //end featured sliding option check ?>
<?php query_posts(array(
'post__not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'),
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'cat' => '-'.$af_blog_catid,
'paged' => $paged,
'showposts'=>8,// dbo change 6-4-11
)); ?>
<?php } //end sticky post check ?>
<?php query_posts(array(
'post__not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'),
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'cat' => '-'.$af_blog_catid,
'exclude' => $postno,
'paged' => $paged,
'showposts'=>8,// dbo change 6-4-11
)); ?>
Duncan O'Neill comments:
Sorry queenb, some more questions;
1) Does the following update to the code above work? Add the second line in both instances above...
'showposts'=>8, // dbo change 6-4-11
'posts_per_page'=>8,
If not;
2) Which version of autofocus(+)(pro) are you using please?
3) Do you have the slider enabled on the front page?
4) Were the next / previous arrows showing up before you made the changes above?
best,
Duncan
Duncan O'Neill comments:
Queenb,
in fact, on further testing, try *replacing*
'showposts'=>4,
with
'posts_per_page'=>4,
sorry about the sloppiness there.
best,
Duncan
Duncan O'Neill comments:
That should of course be, 'posts_per_page'=>4,.
Duncan O'Neill comments:
arrrgghh! :-) 'posts_per_page'=>8,

Hi Duncan,
I think I realize why it doesn't show my navigation. In a previous question I asked how to remove the big arrows and just have "previous post" and "next post " under the single post content (you can see it at the end of the file).
I deleted it and reuploaded it but it only showed me the arrows in the single post and not the homepage.
I've attached the thematic-functions.php
Duncan O'Neill comments:
Hi queenb,
Um, I can't see attachment, sorry.
Are you sure the homepage arrows weren't hidden via css rather than via thematic-functions.php?
It might be quicker to either get an address for your site, or FTP access.
best,
Duncan
queenb comments:
I actually reverted the functions.php back and it worked! Thanks for your help...again.
AdamGold answers:
Try putting this in your CSS:
.entry-meta img {
width: 250px;
height: 300px;
}
if it doesn't work, try adding / changing this in functions.php:
add_image_size( 'archive-thumbnail', 250, 300, true ); // Archives thumbnail size
Not sure if it's 'archive-thumbnail' thought, so please post here your index.php file.
AdamGold comments:
You edited your question, can you re-explain your self please?
queenb comments:
That didn't work but I found that I had to edit a css style on a different file.
queenb comments:
I was editing the question at the same time you answered. I wanted to change the size of the thumbs on the first page but figure it out. I just had to change the dimensions in portfolio-layout.css.
I wanted also to add text but realized that there was a widget above the footer. Since the answer was not found i edited the question for another.
AdamGold comments:
Use Duncan O'Neill for the query_posts, but you will have to insert the following block of code where ever you would like the "next" and "previous" to show:
<?php next_post_link('%link', 'Next'); ?>
<?php previous_post_link('%link', 'Back'); ?>
