Change default number of products in Magento Admin Panel – Catalog – Manage Products page

This is a nice little trick I just learned on how to change the default number of products in your Magento Admin Panel – Catalog – Manage Products page to what ever you want. If you are a Magento eCommerce user you know that on install the default is set to 20 products. If you are like me you have way more products on your site than 20, then this is not ideal.

This is how to change the default to 30, 50, 100, 200.

Go to your “/app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Catalog/Product/Grid.php”
or it could be: “/app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Catalog/Product/Grid.php” depending on your version of Magento.

Search the file for a line of code that reads:

parent::__construct();

Once you find it, paste the below code on the line beneath it:

$this->setDefaultLimit(100);

Change the number (e.g.”100″) to either 30, 50, 100, or 200 depending on your preference.
Upload the file to your server.

That’s it!!

I hope this helps.
