Hi @johnnydee88,
Can you check the browser console to see if it provides any further clues about the issue you noticed?
Please check the following for more info:

Could you change it back to 50 somewhere on background, or repair it somehow pls?
You can access the wp_usermeta table in your database and check if there is a meta key edit_post_per_page and whether it has a value of 999; setting that to 20 should help.
Please do make sure you have a backup before making any changes on the database side, as any incorrect changes can break the site.
If you’re looking for professional support, I would recommend either contacting your hosting provider or hiring someone here: https://jobs.wordpress.net

Could you check – get in touch with me, please?
First, just a heads-up – just to make sure you’re okay with getting help here on the forum. If anyone reaches out to you on your personal contacts regarding your question, I’d be very cautious.
Now, regarding your question: what exactly happens when the list of posts doesn’t load? Do you see a blank page? If so, there’s a server-side error, likely caused by your setting for the number of posts, which is incompatible with some setting in your hosting.
The setting is saved to your WordPress user account. To undo this, you can try the following:
- Go to your website’s database and look for the “user” table (it will have a prefix like “wp_”). Search for your user’s ID there. Make a note of it, then look in the “usermeta” table for entries with that ID. You should also find an entry with ‘meta_key’ set to “edit_post_per_page” – delete that, and you’re done.
- Or you can create a new user in the WordPress backend. This user will have fresh settings and won’t have the problem.
- Or you can check exactly what error is occurring. You may need to contact your hosting provider’s support team, who can also help you optimize your settings.
- Alternatively, you could implement the above method in the database using a one-time PHP script.
If you need personal assistance in resolving the issue, it’s best to contact your hosting provider’s support team first. If they can’t help, you’re sure to find someone here: https://jobs.wordpress.net
