Is it possible to change the layout of the query posts depending on how many there are?
So simple query page listing posts...
Up to 4 posts show them in a list.
If there are 4 posts and over show them as float blocks for example.

for a standard query, you can check the amount of posts with:
all posts for the query: $wp_query->found_posts
and the posts on the page: $wp_query->post_count
use that with a conditional statement to switch to the different layouts.
example:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : //start of the loop// if ( $wp_query->found_posts <= 4 ) { ?> list output of posts //this will need to include the 'while(have_posts())' including the 'endwhile' of the loop <?php } else { ?> float block output //this will need to include the 'while(have_posts())' including the 'endwhile' of the loop <?php } endif; ?> 
- Thank you Michael, i'm unsure how to attach them to a normal query and subsequent conditional statement though..user4630– user46302013-04-17 10:09:33 +00:00Commented Apr 17, 2013 at 10:09

- Thank you Michael, i've tried your code here.. pastie.org/7629448 and it doesn't work it just shows the second half whether its 2 posts or 10...user4630– user46302013-04-17 12:33:11 +00:00Commented Apr 17, 2013 at 12:33
