I am trying to hide some published posts with a tag of “Coming soon”. I have followed the method used here to exclude posts with a certain tag: Set featured posts on the HubSpot blog listings page
Those posts do not appear, as expected. But the first page only lists 2 posts before listing the pagination, even though the “posts per page” setting is set to 15. Page 2 onwards displays fine.
How can I fix this issue? Is it counting all posts (even excluded ones) as part of the total number of posts per page?
Listing page template code:
