 * 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 with 2.6.
 * Appears that it only works when you specify a category by ID (e.g. [catlist id
   =3] works OK… [catlist name=news] does not work.

 * i’ve got it halfway working for 2.7
 * i can list categories only by their ID – but i’m having a difficult time with
   the numberposts option – the page i’m trying to display all this on just comes
   up black when i try to use this option in more than one place…
 * this is what i’m trying to do:
 *     ```
       <strong><u>beverages</u></strong>
       [catlist id=23 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
   
       <strong><u>breads</u></strong>
       [catlist id=31 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
   
       <strong><u>breakfasts</u></strong>
       [catlist id=34 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
   
       <strong><u>condiments</u></strong>
       [catlist id=25 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
   
       <strong><u>cooked veggies</u></strong>
       [catlist id=29 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
   
       <strong><u>entress</u></strong>
       [catlist id=30 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
   
       <strong><u>desserts</u></strong>
       [catlist id=32 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
   
       <strong><u>salads</u></strong>
       [catlist id=28 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
   
       <strong><u>snacks</u></strong>
       [catlist id=22 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
   
       <strong><u>soups</u></strong>
       [catlist id=26 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
       ```
   
 * any suggestions or help would be much appreciated!
