# List doesn’t update when posts are split

 * I have a site with various chapters (one chapter per post). A particular chapter
   was too long to post, so I split it into Chapter 4.1 and Chapter 4.2. When I 
   posted Chapter 5, the list didn’t update, it remained at 4.2.
 * So basically, I have sub-posts within the same category and I use the list on
   the main post to list the book chapters.
 * This is the layout:
 * Chapter 1
    Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4.1 Chapter 4.2 Chapter 5 (which no longer
   shows in the list)
 * To test it out, I tried using another plugin for this post, and that one picked
   the new chapter, but this plugin didn’t.
 * I also deleted the list and re-created it, with the same result. I’m not quite
   sure how to proceed?

 * There is an option on list edit page – `Items per page`. Either set it as -1 
   or a high number, ie: 999999.
