Installation / Configuration Instructions:

2. you can also ues 1 Blog Cacher make your blog faster instead of super cache, works well with pageview .

download

• Wordpress 1.5+ compatible (tested in 1.5, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7).
• Quick and easy installation/configuration.
• Portable: edit the file for your convenience and use it anywhere.
• Cached files are stored in HTML files, and organized in directories emulating the urls, so it’s easy displaying the content of the files and organize them (for instance deleting the cache for a given entry, for all categories, for all searches, for all posts from a given date, etc.)
• If «safe_mode» is enabled, the plugin will still work, creating all the files in the cache directory.
• Option to remove all cache files (or just the expired ones) from the WordPress panel.
• Expiration time for cached files.
• Rejected and accepted strings in order to control exactly the urls to cache.
• Rejected User Agents in order to avoid over-caching from search engines.
• Cached files (including front page cache) are updated when posts and comments are published/edited/deleted.
• Option to include an «Expires» header in order to enable browser cache (even fastest response speed and less page requests.
• Only GET requests are cached.
• Browser super-reload (Ctrl+F5) avoids cached urls.
• Compatible with Gzip compression.

Installation

• (Optional) Edit the values in the advanced-cache.php file (define…) for your convenience (further information in that file).
• Create the cache directory /wp-cache/ in your WordPress directory (/wp-cache/) and make it writeable (chmod 777).
• Upload 1blogcacher2.0.php file to /wp-content/plugins/ WordPress directory (/wp-content/plugins/1blogcacher2.0.php).
• Upload advanced-cache.php file to /wp-content/ (/wp-content/advanced-cache.php).
• Add this line to the wp-config.php file («/wp-config.php»): define(‘WP_CACHE’, true);
• Activate the plugin and take a look to «Options > 1 Blog Cacher» in the WordPress panel.

Very important

• If WEC_ENABLE_BROWSER_CACHE is true, you will be seeing a browser-cached page, so the plugin won’t be even running. Hit Reload (F5) to see the plugin-cached version of the page.

two ways to change Posts per page   in worldpress

1. find the php file and edit the code ,it is dangerous for rookie

WordPress uses the first Template file it finds in your current Theme’s directory from the following list (assuming this is for category 6).

1. category-6.php
2. category.php
3. archive.php
4. index.php

So, the easiest way to change the amount of posts per page shown for categories, is to do the following:

• Either edit your category.php file, or if it doesn’t exist, copy your index.php file to category.php.
• look for this line:
  < ?php get_header(); ?>
  and change it to the following:
  < ?php get_header(); query_posts( 'posts_per_page= &cat=' . $cat ) ?>
• That’s all, your finished. The -1 in posts_per_page lets Wordpress know you want all posts to be shown and it overrides the setting in your options.

2 download  plugin “Different Posts Per Page 1.7.6″
