# Issue with Shortcode Parameters

 * Question for you sir, I am trying to override the template setting by adding 
   shortcode parameters.
 * EXAMPLE:
 * [wp_rss_multi_importer category=”7″ thisfeed=”1 showdate=”0″ showgroup=”0″ hdsize
   =”18px” hdweight=”500″ maximgwidth=”150″ hdweight=”500″ testyle=”color:#000000″]
 * However, the shortcode **thisfeed=”1”** does not always override the template
   settings. Sometimes it will only show 1 and sometimes it shows several as set
   in template. On corresponding pages I am using thisfeed=”5″ which does not work
   either.
 * Do you have any suggestions on how to make this work better or where my conflict
   might be. Greatly appreciated!
 * Thanks!
 * RSS Muti-Importer Settings:
    Shortcode Settings number of entries per feed=4 
   number of entries per page output=10 Feed to post is set to 5 and 10. WP 3.5.1
   Twenty Twelve

 * First of all, are there quotes around the parameter for thisfeed? In your example,
   there is only one quote, not a closing quote.

 * also, here is what I see using your exact shortcode parameters (with the category
   changed for my setup)…and as you can see it shows one items, as it should, based
   on the parameter

 * I using default theme. Again, I went to my homepage feed that is set for “1” 
   but “5” were showing.Then I went into edit page and republished and it set itself
   back to “1” showing. So I can’t share that error but on this example, it is set
   to “5” but only showing “1”.

 * Silly question Allen but if I am more concerned about how many it is displaying
   rather what it is pulling should I then be using this: maxperpage=”1″ instead?

 * First, let me suggest you clear the cache on your browser and then see if it’s
   working correctly
