# Problem with Recent Posts widget and Responsive Theme

 * I am finding that the Recent Posts widget is ignoring the ‘Number of posts to
   show’ parameter. I am able to control the number of posts displayed only by adjusting
   the ‘Blog pages show at most’ setting under Settings|Reading
 * The problem does not occur, however, when I test using the default WordPress 
   theme Twentyseventeen, so it would appear to be related to the use of the Responsive
   theme.
 * I think it started happening at the WordPress 4.9 update.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-with-recent-posts-widget-and-responsive-theme%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
