Lets REST API requests for posts and pages ask for more than 100 items at once, useful for exports and static site generators.
Opens WPIDE on
Code
$wpide_rest_max = 500; // Highest per_page value allowed.
foreach ( array( 'post', 'page' ) as $wpide_rest_type ) {
add_filter( "rest_{$wpide_rest_type}_collection_params", function ( $params ) use ( $wpide_rest_max ) {
if ( isset( $params['per_page'] ) ) {
$params['per_page']['maximum'] = $wpide_rest_max;
}
return $params;
} );
}Notes
Large values make heavy queries; keep $max reasonable.
