 * Hi,
 * I’m using the pagelist shortcode as per:
 * `[pagelist child_of="2753" show_date="created" sort_column="post_date" sort_order
   ="desc" number="9"]`
 * However, I’m finding the number parameter doesn’t work as I’m expecting. i.e.
   I have two pages that are children of ‘2753’. If I don’t specify the number parameter,
   I get both pages listed. Similarly, if I specify the number parameter with a 
   value of 14 or greater then I get both pages listed. However, if I enter 13 or
   less, I only get one of the two pages.
 * Thanks,
    Pete

 * ‘number’ param is [not working](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages)
   now because of the [WordPress bug](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10745).
 * Maybe it will be fixed in future WordPress releases.
