 * Hey. I’m having an issue with displaying more than the default 5 posts in the
   top rated shortcode. I am using this format in the them and I’ve also tried amending
   the loop in the plugin file but no luck.
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode('[thumbs_rating_top type="positive" posts_per_page="
   30" post_type="free_stuff" show_votes="yes" order="DESC"]'); ?>`
 * Any help would be brilliant thanks.

 * Hello,
 * Maybe there isn’t mre “free_stuff” to show.
 * What the shortcode is doing is sending all those paramaters you set to the WP_QUERY
   function [https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query)
 * You can see the shortcode implementation here:
 * [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/thumbs-rating/trunk/thumbs-rating.php](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/thumbs-rating/trunk/thumbs-rating.php)
 * The code itself is quite clean and does not manipulate the query in any way. 
   There must be something else going on from your side.
 * I would first check that you have posts with votes, I think it does not return
   posts without votes.
 * Let me know if this helps.
 * Ricard
