Number of posts in post grid

[odyn]

I can’t seem to find, where I can set the number of shown posts in a post grid. Whatever I do it only shows 5 posts. My query is:

[post_grid columns=”1″ rows=”20″ query=”post_status=future&cat=8&orderby=post_date&order=ASC&offset=0″]

in the Settings/reading I have set to show 40 posts on blog pages. Is there another place where I should increase the number of posts?

Since you’re using a custom query, you’re taking the query into your hands. So, you need to account for the fact that WordPress’s get_posts is going to grab 5 posts unless you specify otherwise.

In your query string you’d add posts_per_page=-1 or numberposts=-1. A “-1” means to pull all posts. Otherwise, you can specify a certain number.

Worked like a charm. Thank you!

Hm, the same query now works on one page but not on the other.
When I use the new post grid plugin, and write
post_status=future&cat=5
under custom query, I get
[post_grid columns=”2″ rows=”20″ query=”post_status=future&cat=5″]
as a shortcode in the text editor.
Neither
[post_grid columns=”2″ rows=”20″ query=”post_status=future&cat=5″]
nor
[post_grid columns=”2″ rows=”20″ query=”post_status=future&cat=5″]
seem to work. Only the first argument is registred, but the second (following the &) not.

Using Slovenian wordpress 3.9, plugins and theme updated to the latest version, also have Show Future Posts on Single Post activated.
Any idea?

In your query, instead of using & try using &.

[post_grid columns="2" rows="20" query="post_status=future&cat=5"]
