   I'm trying to use PageofPosts to display the latest news on my site from the category titled "latest-news"; category # 3.

   This is the code I'm using: http://wordpress.pastebin.com/8gYJm696
   And this is the result: http://www.shrimpalliance.com/new/?page_id=550

   This is what is currently on the site, and it's working fine, except I can't figure out how to only put the latest four posts:
   http://wordpress.pastebin.com/gAq1fVSD
   And this is the result: http://www.shrimpalliance.com/new/?page_id=84

   So I'd love to either fix the current (messy) code I have to display only 4 posts, or get the newer one I'm working on functional... and I just can't see where I'm going wrong with this newer one.

   Thanks!

   ps - yes, I know that image link on the side is broken... fixing that now. :)

   Hi Alchymyth. Thanks for that!

   I have: query_posts( 'posts_per_page=3' );
   on what line of this code can i place it?

   http://wordpress.pastebin.com/gAq1fVSD

   Alternatively, would you know why this isn't working?

   try and add 'posts_per_page' to the $args of the query (line 46++ in your first pastebin)

   $args = array(
     'category__in'     => $cat,
     'caller_get_posts' => 1,
     'posts_per_page' => 3
   );

   Alternatively, would you know why this isn't working?

   i get 'page not found' for the link
