Description
Description
On the Themes Directory search results page, only a limited number of theme cards are displayed, leaving a noticeable amount of unused space within the results grid. This makes the page appear incomplete and requires additional navigation to browse through available themes.
Steps to Reproduce
Visit the WordPress.org Themes Directory.
Perform a theme search (e.g., search for a common keyword like "elementor").
Observe the number of theme cards displayed in the results grid.
Scroll to the bottom of the results section.
Expected Result
The results grid should display the expected number of theme cards and make efficient use of the available space on the page.
Actual Result
Only a small number of theme cards are displayed, leaving a large empty area in the results section before the pagination controls.
I can reproduce the issue.
Searching for "elementor" at:
https://wordpress.org/themes/search/elementor/
reports 1,012 results, but the first page displays only 4 themes while subsequent pages display 12 themes. I'll investigate whether the discrepancy originates in the query, pagination, or post-query filtering.
