title: displaying more posts on the edit screen in wordpress
body: <p>I am looking for a way to increase the amount of posts displaying in the admin edit screen when i click on the posts tab.</p>
  
  <p>I have had a look around the net and found the following function:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function customize_admin(){
  global $per_page;
  $per_page = 500;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>}</p>
  
  <p>This doesnt seem to be working. any ideas if the code above is correct?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks, Dan</p>
