 * Hello,
 * I installed the plugin List category posts [http://picandocodigo.net/programacion/wordpress/list-category-posts-wordpress-plugin-english/](http://picandocodigo.net/programacion/wordpress/list-category-posts-wordpress-plugin-english/)
   but it doesn’t seem to work.
 * I have a page. I have a category called articles, so I have inserted this into
   the post:
 * [catlist name=articles]
 * But it displays 5 posts and not just from the articles category but all categories.
 * Does anyone know hot to resolve this, or, does anyone know of any other plugins
   which do the same thing?
 * Thanks, kind regards.

 * Just installed that plugin on a version 2.7-beta testbed with this code:
 * `[catlist name=My Category numberposts=2]`
 * and it displayed two posts from ‘My Category’ (don’t know if case-sensitive is
   an issue).

 * still doesn’t work for me.
 * I have two posts under articles and set post count to five to see but it still
   includes other categories.
 * I also set it to two but to no avail.

 * Hey Member111, you should try with the ID, or the category slug instead of the
   name, see if it works for you. Also as MichaelH said, check for case sensitiveness.
   The plugin has just been updated by the way.
 * Regards and thanks for using List Category Posts!

 * I just updated my List Category Posts plugin, and now none of my category listings
   are working. Im getting this error :
 * Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /blog1/wp-content/plugins/
   list-category-posts/list_cat_posts.php on line 62
 * Any ideas? I have not had any problems with the previous version.

 * Using version 0.4 on a 2.8 bleeding edge test blog with `[catlist id=6 numberposts
   =-1]` in a post, and I experienced no errors.
 * Might consider reinstalling the plugin.

 * I switched back to the previous version. Not sure what broke the links but they
   are working now.

 * **crutchboy**, your problem is because of PHP 4 in your server. Check this answer:

 * It works now but I want to know how to list posts from a certain tag instead 
   of a particular catrgory.
