   Hi, I have set up a WordPress query on a number of pages on my website to show a specific number of posts [query_posts('showposts=5');] from a specific category [query_posts('cat=1');]. The problem is that it is not limiting the number of posts to 5, it is showing all posts within that category.

   Here are two examples:
   http://www.abandf.com.au/insurance/
   http://www.abandf.com.au/newzealand/index.php

   This is the code I am using:

   <?php
   // Include WordPress
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
   require('../news/wp-load.php');
   query_posts('showposts=5');
   query_posts('cat=1');
   ?>

   I hope someone can point out where I am going wrong. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

   query_posts('showposts=5');
   query_posts('cat=1');

   instead, try
   

   query_posts('cat=1&posts_per_page=5');
