   How do I limit the number of posts per category in query_posts? Here is my current code:

   query_posts("cat=19,18,7&paged=$page&posts_per_page=$posts");

   Right now it displays all posts from each specified category, chronologically. I want it to show only the latest posts from each category. Setting posts_per_page doesn't work as it displays the latest X posts regardless of category (ex. if I set it to 3, and the latest 3 posts happen to all be from category 19, then it shows those 3 posts from cat 19 and none from the other assigned categories.)

   Is there such thing as posts_per_cat or something similar?

   Look at #3 example.

   Same problem as described above. If you set posts_per_page to X, it shows X number of posts regardless of category. So if the latest X posts all happen to be from category 19, then all it displays are posts from cat 19, not the latest posts from each cat.

   I'm having the same issue. I have another way of achieving what I want, but unfortunately, I NEED that query_posts for pagination.

   Any help?
