Enable to change the default "Number of Posts" parameter

I have exactly the same problem!

Well, since I see I’m not the only one with this problem, I looked at the scripts and realize that also the part about the registering the option ‘numberposts’ in the DDB is missing.

You could still add the parameter ‘numberposts’ to each shortcode for a fast solution.

But here’s a fix for those who’ll really need it :

• In the wp-content/plugins/list-category-posts/include/lcp-options.php script,
  replace Line n°25:
  <form method="post" action="lcp-options.php">
  By:
  <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; ?>">
• And replace Line n°21:
  $numberposts = get_option('numberposts');
  By:

  //
  	// TEMPORARY FIX to be able to change the default "Number of Posts" parameter on v0.51
  	//
  	$option_name = 'numberposts';
  	if( isset($_POST[$option_name]) ){
  		$new_numberposts = intval($_POST[$option_name]);	// minimum constraint
  		// change it to the new value:
  		if ( get_option( $option_name ) !== false ) {
  			// The option already exists, so we just update it.
  			update_option( $option_name, $new_numberposts );
  		} else {
  			// The option hasn't been added yet. We'll add it with $autoload set to 'no'.
  			add_option( $option_name, $new_numberposts, null, 'no' );
  		}
  	}
  	$numberposts = get_option('numberposts');
  	//
  	// end FIX
  	//

Hello,

I have also the same problem.
Instead of modifying directlty lcp-options.php script , isn’t it possible to add something to function.php in order to not have the problem back in coming updates ?

Thanks.

Hi, this doesn’t seams possible, as I said, since the plugin really misses all the saving to the database part for this variable.

As next update will probably resolve this problem, putting a fix in functions.php would not be so helpful.

Ok thanks.
I’ll try the fix and let you know ??

NB: are you a member or part of the plugin team ? Because plugin creator needs to know the problem to resolve it in the next update.

Absolutely not, I’m assuming the team would follow this forum.
Also, the problem is pretty obvious.

The team of 1 is following the forum indeed ??

I don’t have that much time to work on the plugin right now, but Pull Requests are more than welcome on GitHub ??

I’ll try to get this fixed for the next version. Thanks!

Hi,
I’m having the same problem and the suggested fix is not working for me.
Is there perhaps a database field we can change to give it the value of -1?
I want to show all posts and it’s only showing 10.

I found a solution based on the same fix.
I hardcoded MYDOMAIN/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=list-category-posts instead of <?php echo $_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’]; ?> as the action of the form.
