Limit

The correct attribute to change the number of displayed events is num_events.

I changed my shortcode to

[linkview link_orderby=rand show_cat_name=0 target=blank num_events=5]

and it is still not changing the number of links displayed in my list.

I’d just like to display only 5 random links so it doesn’t clutter my sidebar.

Anyone any other ideas?

Thanks!

Sorry, but I mixed some of my plugins.
The correct attribute is “num_links”.

I changed my widget shortcode to:

[linkview link_orderby=rand show_cat_name=0 target=blank num_links=5]

and it still displayed what looks like all of my links…

So I had a thought that maybe, even though I set show_cat_name to 0, that it was showing me the first 5 of every category…nope, it looks like it is showing every link.

So I had a thought that maybe it was the rand setting that was causing the problem, so I changed it to asc and it is still showing what appears to be every link.

My shortcode now looks like this:

[linkview link_orderby=asc show_cat_name=1 target=blank num_links=1]

and it is still showing every link.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for listening!

I tried both shortcodes above and it is working as expected in my installation.
Did you get any warning or error (please enable debug outputs for testing)?
What php-version do you use?

Thanks for the response. I just updated WordPress for that site and the issue seems to have resolved.

Appreciate the help!
