Installer Set the number of posts shown with Post Loop Widget?
I am using the post loop with the carousel slider and need to set the number of posts displayed but don’t know how. Now it is showing ALL of my posts in the slider.
How do I set the number of posts displayed?
Thanks

Thanks for your question.
Within the Post Loop widget click Build posts query, there you’ll find a Posts per page field.
I did set that to 6 but it is still showing all of my posts.
I did add this ccs code to the widget because my slider was being cut off. It seemed to work and my images and text are now showing properly. But I wonder of something in the code is making it show all of my posts?
.vantage-carousel li.carousel-entry {
list-style: none;
margin-left: 0;
padding: 0;
display: block;
float: left;
margin-right: 0px;
width: 760px;
overflow-x: hidden;
}

Would it be possible for you to create a temporary admin account for us so we can log in and take a look? You can create the account with the following email address:
[email protected]
Just navigate to UsersAdd New in your WordPress admin. Enter siteorigin for the username and [email protected] for the email address. Make sure you’ve selected Administrator for the role and enabled the Send Password field so we receive the details.
Once we’re finished taking a look, you can delete this account. We’ll let you know when to do that.

Ahh right, apologies. Posts per page is easier to understand if you were using a regular blog layout, that setting would display six posts and then have the pagination where the user might browse to the next page of posts. It isn’t a hard limit. Let me take a look and see if there is anything we can do to assist.

Sorry, I haven’t had any joy achieving this. What you could do is create a category and assign a few posts to that category, then, in the Query builder, use the Taxonomies field to search for that category.
So there's no way to just set it to a certain number of posts?
If you make use of the Blog, Grid or Circle Icon templates in the Post Loop widget then yes, the number of posts per page setting will be used. The layout would display six posts and then the post pagination. Unfortunately, this setting isn’t applicable to the Carousel template. There isn’t a total query limit setting that I can successfully implement in the Post Loop widget.
