How to dynamically change 'Posts per page' from 4 to 12 depending on Pagination

[McBricky]

Howdy, all

Building my first client site in Bricks and I’m wondering if anyone could shed some light on this issue I’m having with the Query Loop and Posts Per Page.

• I have a ‘main’ news page with two query loops consisting of two featured posts (Only showing on main page, set by a condition), and 4 smaller posts. All good so far
• When I navigate to page 2,3 etc (as expected) I only get 4 posts per page
• I see that the ‘Posts per page’ option for the Query loop is not dynamic, so it will always be set to 4. How do I make each paginated page display 12 posts instead of 4?

Additional information: The condition to get the paged query var is a function I added in functions.php:

add_filter( 'bricks/code/echo_function_names', function() {

return [

'is_dynamic_button_label', // Name of your function

'get_query_var'

];

} );

Try Filter: bricks/posts/query_vars – Bricks Academy

You need something like:

add_filter( 'bricks/posts/query_vars', function( $query_vars, $settings, $element_id, $element_name ) {
    if ( $element_id == '*your-brick-element-id*' && is_paged() ) {
        $query_vars['posts_per_page'] = 12;
    }

    return $query_vars;
}, 10, 4 );
