Q:

How do I use fetch_feed() to pull in a large number of posts?

When I use fetch_feed() to pull in posts from a feed, even if I set the maximum posts variable to a very high number, it will only pull in 10 posts. I want to pull in all the posts and then paginate the way I would for my regular blog posts. I thought maybe it was set to the number in my Reading settings, but I changed it to 30 with no change. There are definitely more than 10 posts in the feed I am trying to pull in. Is this possible or is this inherently limited for this function? 

A:

If someone happens upon this and doesn't have the option to change the feed length, my solve was to use an array of feed pages:

fetch_feed( array('http://example.com/feed/', 'http://example.com/feed/?paged=2', 'http://example.com/feed/?paged=3') );

A:

It sounds like your source feed is showing only 10 posts. So, regardless of what you pit for get_item_quantity, only 10 posts will show, max.
If you're pulling posts from a WordPress site, you can adjust how many posts are included in the RSS feed in Settings -> Reading.
Change this value: "Syndication feeds show the most recent"
