    <p>So I'm editing the index.php in my WP theme's folder, essentially what I want it to do is this:</p> <ul> <li><p>Show 4 Posts on first page of blog.</p></li> <li><p>Style the first (newest) post on the first page differently. Style the other 3 the same.</p></li> <li><p>Show 6 Posts on every other paginated page.</p></li> </ul> <p>Here's the loop I'm working with, the first page appears fine, but for some reason on page 2 and higher it's executing really weird and showing only <strong>one</strong> post on each additional page. Also, it will only show the title and not the date or excerpt. Here's my code:</p> <pre><code> &lt;?php if( is_home() &amp;&amp; !is_paged() ){ global $query_string; parse_str( $query_string, $args ); $args['posts_per_page'] = 4; query_posts($args); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if (++$counter == 1) { ?&gt; &lt;div class="featured_post"&gt; &lt;p class="date"&gt;&lt;?php the_date('M j, Y'); ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;?php the_post_thumbnail('featuredblog'); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;?php the_excerpt(); ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;?php } else { ?&gt; &lt;div class="regular_post"&gt; &lt;p class="date"&gt;&lt;?php the_date('M j, Y'); ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="postimage"&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;?php the_post_thumbnail('regularblog'); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;a href="&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;?php // short_title($after, $length) echo short_title('...', 7); ?&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;?php the_excerpt(); ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;?php } ?&gt; &lt;?php endwhile; else : // Code for no posts found here endif; } else { global $query_string; parse_str( $query_string, $args ); $args['posts_per_page'] = 6; query_posts($args); ?&gt; &lt;div class="regular_post"&gt; &lt;p class="date"&gt;&lt;?php the_date('M j, Y'); ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="postimage"&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;?php the_post_thumbnail('regularblog'); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;a href="&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;?php the_excerpt(); ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;?php } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Maybe there's too many if...else statements in there?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
