 * Hi all!
 * On a site I’m building, I’m trying to display all posts in the custom type “clients”
   in the custom category “casestudy” on top of the page, and all other (non case
   study) posts below.
 * I use two queries. The second one with all posts works just fine, but the first
   one only shows the two latest posts. This is the code used:
 *     ```
       <?php
       query_posts('post_type=clients&cat=19'); // load ony the case studies category
       while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
       ?>
   
       <div class="client_column"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a></div>
   
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
       ```
   
 * What am I doing wrong? I’ve been building WP sites for over 5 years now, and 
   never encountered this problem. I’ve flushed the permalinks cache, triple checked
   if necessary posts are in the right category and made sure the default amount
   of posts in settings is set to 20.
 * Any help would be very much appreciated.

 * also try to add the ‘posts_per_page’ parameter directly into the query.
 * do you get any error messages from the loop?

 * Thanks Alchymyth!
 * That worked like a charm. My code now looks like this:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 20, 'post_type'=> 'clients', 'category' => 19 );
   
       $myposts = get_posts( $args );
       foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
       	<div class="client_column">
          		<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>
       	</div>
       <?php endforeach; wp_reset_postdata();?>
       ```
   
 * Thx for your help.
