I am having the exact same issue.
It appear that the developer has avoided to address the issue even thought there are several support request in the forum.
Ok allshookup, let me explain to you how this works: This is open source software I do for fun, not profit. It’s like a hobby pet project for me, ok? I don’t get paid for each hour I spend coding on my plugin, I just do it because I like coding and it looks like a lot of people like it and use it, so I feel good by improving the plugin. Support requests in the forum don’t pay my bills, and I haven’t “avoided the issue”, I just focus on bigger issues or new features which are more requested.
So, this specific issue I haven’t been able to reproduce. I use the plugin on all of my blogs and I’ve tried several different setups, and I always get the plugin to show the number of posts I ask it to. So it must be specific to some WordPress installations. Maybe a conflict with another plugin, I don’t know.
ramshengale I don’t use “” for this parameter and it works, maybe that’s the issue. I’m using this exact code:
[catlist id=259 numberposts=6 orderby=title order=asc]
And it works as expected.
What WordPress version are you using? Maybe try setting debug=true on your wp-config and see if there’s any important errors displayed.
