I have been trying to get an answer on this for quite some time now and still have not come across any viable solutions. If there is anyone out there that could help, it would be greatly appreciated!
The default size of the Newsfeed “Site Feed Web part” is to display 20 items. Unfortunately we choose to use this solution on the front page of our intranet site which is starting to be a problem because the web part takes up so much space from the user’s posting.
We need to be able to change the default from 20 to maybe 5 or possibly figure out a way to only view / hide the most recent 5 posts.

“Newsfeed This is the default view when visiting a user’s My Site. The Newsfeed contains recent activities from followed entities. The Newsfeed displays 20 items and is sorted in reverse chronological order. Items listed in the Newsfeed are activities from entities a user follows, and conversations from any site feeds the user follows. Site feeds are explained later in this article.”
I have also tried modifying the SiteFeed.dwp with the following code
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
< WebPart xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2“>
<Assembly>Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c</Assembly>
<TypeName>Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.SiteFeedWebPart</TypeName>
<Title>$Resources:spscore,SiteFeed_WebPart_Title;</Title>
<Description>$Resources:spscore,SiteFeed_WebPart_Description;</Description>
<FrameType>None</FrameType>
<PartImageLarge>/_layouts/15/images/wp_pers.gif</PartImageLarge>
<MaxItemsToDisplay>5</MaxItemsToDisplay>
< /WebPart>
Thanks,
I had the same issue and i resolved it by creating a custom WebPart and adding the native newsfeed user control and customize it with css (excuse my English 🙂 ):
public partial class NewsFeedUserControl : UserControl
{
protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
HtmlGenericControl divNewsFeed = new HtmlGenericControl(HtmlTextWriterTag.Div.ToString());
divNewsFeed.Attributes.Add(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Class.ToString(), “custom-news-feed”);
// natif news feed user control
Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.SiteFeedWebPart CustNewsFeedWP = new Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.SiteFeedWebPart();
divNewsFeed.Controls.Add(CustNewsFeedWP);
this.Controls.Add(divNewsFeed);
}
}
Css class :
.custom-news-feed .ms-microfeed-threadsDiv { height: 250px;
overflow-y: auto;
overflow-x: hidden; }
