    THIS SOLVED MY PROBLEM:

    <?php c2c_get_recent_posts(10, “%post_URL%
    “, “$cat”, “date”, “DESC”, 0); ?>

    I solved this problem by introducing an if in the loop.
    The code should be something like this:

    <?php
			$cont = 0;
			while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
            <?php if($cont < 5){ ?>
			<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
            <?php the_content(); ?>
            <p class="postmetadata">Posted in <small><?php the_time('d \d\e F \d\e Y'); ?></small> under: <?php the_category(', '); ?>

            <?php $cont++; }?>
			<?php endwhile;?>

    to me it works just fine.
    Any comments?
