The limit setting has no effect on the FAQ widget. I will give you more detail this evening. I have been very busy lately and am in a bit of a hurry at the moment, but wanted you to know that I saw this.
Adding limit to the shortcode ONLY works in connection with the FAQ page. In the Recent FAQs widget you can set the number of FAQs to display in that widget.
Thanks for your reply.
Stupid me…Now I know what I did wrong. I used a text-widget and placed the shortcode in it. I forgot there was a FAQ’s widget.
Thanks!
