Wordpress question for the hivemind! We are using 'Categories' and 'Tags' for our blog posts. When I click on one, they only display up to 10 posts - even when I know there are more than 10 posts in that category or with that tag. Is this a setting I need to change?

Another reminder for those who still seem to have not understood: Chat programs do not “look up” information and then repeat it. They write plausible language in answer to a prompt based on their data set. References will use real people, journals & words from titles, but will not truly exist.

When Scouty came to live with us she was a rescue cat who had an unhappy home and then absolutely hated the rescue centre. She was so underweight we thought they had her age wrong and she was actually a large kitten! She soon put on an extra kilo and became the magnificent mini-beast we have today ❤️
