# [Plugin: List category posts] numberposts argument confusion

 * So the readme explains it like this
 * **numberposts** – Number of posts to return. Set to 0 to use the max number of
   posts **per page**. Set to -1 to remove the limit. Default: 5. Ex: [catlist name
   =mycategory numberposts=10]
 * so if it’s the number of posts per page, I was assuming that there would be some
   sort of <1> <2> <3> … <5> layout or something with however many pages the list
   of posts takes up. On my website though, it basically just lists the number of
   posts, and does nothing more. Can someone please explain what the ‘per page’ 
   means in this context?
 * thanks,
    Phil

 * Pagination has not been implemented yet.
 * “Per page” means how many posts you want to display on the page you are using
   the plugin. Maybe I didn’t explain myself correctly.
 * Sorry about that, English is not my native language. I’ll try to rewrite it.
