Why does get_posts() return only 5 matching posts, when it should return 9?
- by Scott B
global $post;
$cat1=get_cat_ID('test1');
$cat2=get_cat_ID('test2');
$myrecentposts = get_posts(array('post_not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'), 'cat' => "-$cat1,-$cat2",'showposts' => 5));
$myrecentposts2 = get_posts(array('post_not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'), 'cat' => "-$cat1,-$cat2"));
$myrecentpostscount = count($myrecentposts2);
echo $myrecentpostscount;
The value of the echo is 5 (the correct value should be 9). The only way I can get it to return the correct value for the post count is to change the $myrecentposts2 calculation as follows...
$myrecentposts2 = get_posts(array('post_not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'), 'cat' => "-$cat1,-$cat2",'showposts' => 999));
