Very strange. It was currently set to “45”. I did not change it to 45. It was longer (unaware now of what it WAS, but it was longer) previously.

Thanks!

oops…

notice here that your plugin shows only one other post in the sidebar, which happens to also be the current post, of which I set the plugin NOT to show.
And it also does not show the rest of the sidebar widgets.

Now, click on that post link in sidebar. Then you will see only one more recent post (the plugin is set to show 8), but then the rest of the sidebar widgets now show.

This link shows the plugin added to a page using another plugin named “amr shortcode any widget” and this page lists ALL of the posts.

I changed the code in your plugin as requested, but the results were the same.

Remember, the weird part is that this is only occurring on the sidebar widget, not footer or page. I do think its got to do with some coding issue, but possibly with the AddThis plugin.

Here’s the URL to the test page if you are interested in seeing it happen. I’ll leave the “Share Buttons by AddThis” plugin activated on the test site.

If you click on the sidebar link under “Recent Press” that reads “Complete Essential Press Listings”, this is a link to the page where ALL posts are listed.

Thanks!

I’m using another plugin now. I WILL try this ASAP though.

nevermind. found that “Share Buttons by AddThis” plugin is causing the issue. I had turned off some plugins, but had not tried to turn this one off… hmmm.

AND it only happens when that plugin is set to show the share buttons “below” content.

NO idea why THAT should cause an issue….

Excellent idea. Thanks. I will dig into it, but I think I’ve found a temp solution. I’ve taken the widget off the categories page. Not really necessary there, but I wanna see if I can figure it out still.

poop…. so I tried someones else’s plug-in. (sorry, I HAD to try)

It does the exact same thing. Works great until I choose to view a particular category, then it shows ALL posts…

WordPress code I suppose.

further testing shows that the sidebar does not work correctly either if you choose to view the site categories…. widget shows ALL posts when viewing a page category whether in the footer or sidebar…

hmmm… bummer

And perhaps, I am not clear. The categories I am speaking of is when I look at each website category, https://www.warrioressentials.life/category/how-to/

by “regardless of category setting” do you mean this setting “Show posts of selected categories only?”

If I leave it set to “All categories”, which is what I want, it still shows all posts, regardless to “Number of posts to show:” setting.

Even if I change category setting to show only a particular category, it still shows all the posts in that category, not the “Number of posts to show:”

This again is in the footer widget only as far as I can tell. Sidebar widget seems to work correctly.

Sorry, but your statement is a bit confusing.

When you say the widget always gets maximum number of posts regardless of category setting, do you mean that it works for you and you don’t see why it happens to me, or it does not work for you and you don’t know why it’s happening?

And by “maximum number”, do you mean “Number of posts to show:”?

The only difference in the pages when it works and doesn’t work is in the URL structure.

And today, without any changes, it is not even showing 6 (the chosen amount) on the footer as it did before. Sometimes it showing 4 and sometimes 5…

anybody have a suggestion for this?

I’m back to running the default permalinks and wanna get this resolved.

Similar issue myself, but only when my site is running from a subdirectory.

If I change the permalinks to “default”, then it works fine, but switching back to “postname” breaks it again.

same issue here. Just started today (or maybe I just noticed it today), but I updated to 4.3 over a week ago…

Happens on all my sites.

Collapse the menu then expand and it’s back to normal until clicking on menu item again.

Trying to teach my wife to use her new website and it’s VERY ANNOYING!!

What I’m finding is that if I set the “RewriteBase /” to “RewriteBase /wp/” that it only works one time, then WP resets the .htaccess file back to “RewriteBase /”

I’ve changed the permalinks several different ways and it continues to do that. If I leave the permalinks set to “default”, it works, but of course shows “/wp/?page_id=4” in the address bar.

I’ve also tried
RewriteBase /2015/
and that only works once also.
