 * Hello the shortcode parameter is not working for me.
 * On my main ad page I have:
 * [AWPCPCLASSIFIEDSUI]
    [AWPCPLATESTLISTINGS limit: 20]
 * The bottom one even though is set to 20 only shows 10 ads. How can I set it to
   20 please?
 * Thanks

 * I fixed it. The shortcode on the support page is wrong. You must use = and not:
 * [AWPCPLATESTLISTINGS limit=20]

 * Hi yandoos,
 * Sorry for any confusion–the documentation wasn’t trying to imply that you use
   the : but I’ll clarify that.
 * General shortcode use is always like this:
 * [SHORTCODE parameter=value]
 * Just FYI.
