   So I am currently using the following code in my sidebar.php file:

   <?php if (is_category(8) || in_category(8)) { ?>
       <div id="subnav">
   	<?php	$catposts=get_posts('cat=8', 'numberposts =0');
   		if ($catposts) {
   		  foreach($catposts as $post) {
   			setup_postdata($post); ?>
   			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   		  <?php  }
   		}
   	?>
       </div>
       <?php } ?>

   It's supposed to pull the titles of all the posts in that category and list them as links. The problem is that it is limiting it to only the 5 most recent. If anyone has any idea why that might be it would be greatly appreciated.

   Thank you.

   Try

   get_posts('cat=8&showposts=-1');

   Thank you very much, that worked perfectly. I realized after looking at your solution that I mis-read the codex and the use of "0" vs "-1".

   Does combining the two arguments into one make a difference as well? or is it just for shortening and/or cleaning up the code a little bit?

   Thanks again, it was greatly appreciated to get a response so quickly.

   Actually I'm not sure the two arguments works. You can use a string of arguments as I presented or an array such as
   

   $args=array(
     'cat' => 8,
     'showposts' => -1
   );
   $catposts=get_posts($args);
