    Users that have posted
   this issue have been pointed to users website which has no solution posted.
 * I set the number of posts to one. Nine posts show up (like the WP default query).
 * The problem clear lies with the line `$my_wp_query = new WP_Query( $wp_query_string);`
 * I think this is more of a wordpress issue.
