# Short code — and Plugin conflict — only first parameter working

 * I put short code `[cactus-masonry post_orderby="rand"]` and it works. Then I 
   put anything else (and trust, I tried a lot of variations, from your website 
   suggestions to how using the generator) it doesn’t go past the first parameter.
 * For example `[cactus-masonry post_orderby="rand" posts_per_page="3"]`
 * The cactus-masonry rand order is respected, but nothing after the first parameter.
 * Any suggestions?
 * Thanks.

 * Just noticed an error: Uncaught ReferenceError: elemsCM_GALLERY_44492 is not 
   defined
 * Going to check is Lazy Load plugin is conflicting…
 * Update: yes, there are multiple errors using Lazy Load plugin.

 * The issue is still a problem, where only the first parameter is respected, for
   example, rand order works, but keeps defaulting to like over 30 images, when 
   I am trying to set it to 12: `[cactus-masonry post_orderby="rand" posts_per_page
   ="12"]`
 * So, no resolution there…
 * BUT yes, Lazy Load plugin conflicts with this plugin.
 * Basically, if I use Lazy Load plugin, then it destroys my layout, and you don’t
   see the % loading…
 * So I disabled Lazy Load.

 * Okay, here where is stands now.`
 * Lazy Load removed, plugin working.
 * Now, some parameters seem to work, its not about the first parameter vs another
   second parameter.
 * For example, I have this right now: `[cactus-masonry gallery_align="left" post_orderby
   ="rand" posts_per_page="12" horizontal_spacing="0"]`
 * So all parameters seem to work GREAT **except **the **post_per_page** — this 
   is still defaulting to like 30 per page.
 * I am not certain what other parameters will or will not work, or are and are 
   not working. I will keep experimenting.
 * BUT if you have any suggestions please do tell 🙂
 * By the way — EXCELLENT plugin! 🙂

 * Okay, so all parameters seem to work, except the **posts_per_page** for me.
 * Any suggestions?
 * Thank you, and thanks for this amazing plugin.

 * Hi JJNW,
 * The `posts_per_page` parameter tells the infinite scroll how many posts to load
   per request. The infinite scroll will keep requesting posts (in lots defined 
   by `posts_per_page`) until the posts loaded run beyond the end of the visible
   page by a certain amount.
 * The parameter `page_size` may be what you are looking for. This tells the plugin
   how many posts it can load.
 * I hope that helps
