 * It seems like “query_posts” doesn’t work.
    i set new category name and number
   of posts to display, but it shows the same category and number of posts in the
   wp admin options :S
 *     ```
       <?php $temp_query = $wp_query; ?>
               <?php query_posts('category_name=' . get_option('gallery-category') . '&showposts=' . get_option('gallery-items')); ?>
               <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
               <div class="imageElement">
                   <h2><?php the_title() ?></h2>
                   <p><?php the_content_rss('', TRUE, '', 30); ?></p>
                   <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Read More" class="open"></a>
                   <img src="<?php $key="articleimg"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>" class="full" />
                   <img src="<?php $key="articleimg"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>" class="thumbnail" />
               </div>
               <?php endwhile; else: ?>
               <?php endif; ?>
               <?php $wp_query = $temp_query; ?>
       ```
