Limit number of events shown on venue page

[Ross Gosling]

Hi, on my venues page there is the code to show the events happening at that venue.

How can I limit this to show only the next 5 events?

Thanks

<?php while ( have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="sidebareventbox">
<div class="sidebarhomefoodtitle">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
</div>
<!-- Output the date of the occurrence-->

                <?php
                //Format date/time according to whether its an all day event.
                //Use microdata http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=176035
                if( eo_is_all_day() ){
                    $format = 'l jS F';
                    $microformat = 'Y-m-d';
                }else{
                    $format = 'l jS F'.get_option('time_format');
                    $microformat = 'c';
                }?>
                <div class="sidebardate"><time itemprop="startDate" datetime="<?php eo_the_start($microformat); ?>"><?php eo_the_start($format); ?></time></div>

                <div class="sidebaraboutmusic"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>

                <div class="sidebarlink"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Click here for more details</a></div>

</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>

Hi Ross,

The following should work:

   add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'gosling_limit_events_on_venue_page' );
   function gosling_limit_events_on_venue_page( $query ){
         if( $query->is_main_query() && is_tax( 'event-venue' ) ){
                     $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 5 );
         }
   }

This code should go in a utility plug-in (but will also work in your theme’s functions.php).
