Too many posts shown

  • When I use “Limit to Category”, the “Number of posts to show” is ignored and all the posts from the selected category are shown.

    For example, I have 6 posts in a “Featured” category and would like to randomly display 3 posts from that category. I set “Number of posts to show” = 3, and “Limit to Category” = “Featured”. Unfortunately, all 6 posts are shown at once…

    My settings are:
    Ignore sticky posts (selected)
    Post Types: Posts
    Post Status: Publish
    Order: Descending
    Orderby: Random
    Limit to Category: Featured
    Number of posts to show: 3
    Offset: 0
    Display Thumbnail (selected)
    Thumbnail (height,width,align): 150, 150, Left

    I added the below code to my functions.php but it did not limit the number of displayed posts to 3 when “Limit to Category” is selected:

    // Filter for Recent Posts Widget Extended plugin
add_filter( 'rpwe_default_query_arguments', 'your_custom_function'  );
function your_custom_function( $args ) {
    $args['posts_per_page'] = 3; // Changing the number of posts to show.
    return $args;
}

    I’m having the same issue. The “Number of posts to show” setting does not appear to limit the number of posts displayed.

    Any suggestions on what I could try to fix this?

    Tx
