# PostsInCategory 1669 limit?

 * I implemented the wordpress plugin PostsInCategory and it has worked well until
   I loaded all 10,000+ error messages for the Oracle database and tried to load
   them on a page using the PostsInCategory plugin. It displayed 1,000 results. 
   After looking into the plugin I found this line:
 * $query = ‘order=ASC&orderby=post_title&numberposts=1000&category=’ . $cat_ID;
 * and edited it only to find the page would not load if the value is set above 
   1669. Is there any reason for this, or a work around that someone knows of? The
   page I am working with is:
 * [http://www.dbaplace.com/oracle-errors/](http://www.dbaplace.com/oracle-errors/)
 * Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks!

 * Michael, Thank you for your reply. The link in the source is [http://www.sns.ias.edu/~cjm/wp/wordpress/posts-in-category/](http://www.sns.ias.edu/~cjm/wp/wordpress/posts-in-category/),
   but it no longer works, though this guy’s main page still does. It’s a plug in
   we’ve been using on a few sites for a few years, it may no longer be maintained?
   I have not had an issue before, but also don’t have another site that has 1000
   + posts in one category. I emailed the author last night and he replied with:
 * “Ken-
 * It must besome limitation of the WordPress DB connection – I am just guessing
   here. Maybe there is a master configuration file in WordPress that limits max
   query size.. let me know if you find anything.
 * -Chris”
 * I checked into wp-includes/functions.php for “function get_posts” and did not
   see anything obvious. There is a limit clause in the SQL code, but the limit 
   seems to be r[‘offset’],r[‘numberposts’], which numberposts seems to be grabbing
   the correct total.
 * I’ve removed the oracle error code entries for another unrelated reason, but 
   will be running my dump script to add them back in again tonight when I can work
   on it some more. I suppose it could be my style sheet? I’ve been slowly fixing
   other issues in my custom theme.
