More than five posts in subcategory list

‘5’ seems to be the number of posts per page as set under ‘settings – reading …’

try to add the corresponding parameter to your ‘get_posts’ args;

example:

<?php $args=array('cat='.$category->term_id&posts_per_page=-1);?>

‘-1’ is for all posts; or use whatever number of posts you would like to see there.

That didn’t seem to work. My ‘reading” page is set to 99 and it is still only showing 5. Also, I am getting

category 1
5 posts within category 1

category 2
5 posts within category 1.

This code displays the category 2 posts correctly (removed $args), but I am still only getting five posts.

<?php $categories =  get_categories('child_of=3');  ?>
		<?php foreach  ($categories as $category) { ?>
        <div class="entry-feed">

          <div class="entry">
          <?php echo '<h3>'.$category->name.'</h3>'; ?>

          	<?php foreach (get_posts('cat='.$category->term_id) as $post) {
            setup_postdata( $post );
            echo '<h3><a href="'.get_permalink($post->ID).'">'.get_the_title().'</a></h3>';
        	}//end innner for each ?></div><!--end entry feed-->

        <div class="clearfix"></div>
		</div><!--end entry-->
       <?php }//end outer foreach ?>

I tried:

<?php foreach (get_posts('cat='.$category->term_id&'posts_per_page=-1') as $post) {

but I am getting the same as above.. the wrong posts under category 2 and only five still…

I made a typing error – corrected, try:

<?php $args=array('cat='.$category->term_id . '&posts_per_page=-1');?>

You know for some reason it doesn’t work quite right in the variable, still showing the wrong posts for category two, but it works like this!

<?php foreach (get_posts('cat='.$category->term_id. '&posts_per_page=-1') as $post)

So THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

PS:
there was a mixtake in my suggestion – I hadn’t looked at the $args properly;

as you seem to try to use the array method, the line should have been:

<?php $args = array( 'cat' => $category->term_id, 'posts_per_page' => -1); ?>

or as string:

<?php $args = array('cat=' . $category->term_id . '&posts_per_page=-1'); ?>

oh ok. thanks!
