   I upgraded my WordPress blog from 2.5.1 to 2.6 and noticed that this piece of code will work:

   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=home&showposts=-1'); ?>
   
   <?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
     <?php echo ", $post->post_name"; ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   And this one won't:

   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=home&showposts=3'); ?>
   
   <?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
     <?php echo ", $post->post_name"; ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   The difference between these is in the query. When I put -1 for showposts, it works. If I put any other number (ie. 3), the output disappears completely.

   What happened?

   Just checking to see if anyone knows what's going on?

   I had the same problem, but it looks like I had to define a category to get it to work:

   <?php query_posts('showposts=1&cat=1'); ?>
