Title: Shortcode conditions cannot be displayed correctly Last modified: February 6, 2024 --- # Shortcode conditions cannot be displayed correctly * Resolved [Sliven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slivenred/) * (@slivenred) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-conditions-cannot-be-displayed-correctly/) * Hi there, * Thank you for providing such an excellent plugin. I’ve encountered some issues while using it, specifically when I input shortcodes in the Elementor editor to display popular posts. The conditions I set display correctly in the editor’s preview mode, but once published, all the set conditions fail to work on the frontend. * For instance, when I set it to display 2 posts, it actually shows 9 posts on the frontend. If I increase the number, the displayed number also increases, yet I can’t seem to figure out the pattern. * Could you please help me confirm this issue? I greatly appreciate it! * If you need to access the website, you can check: [https://wicca.tw/](https://wicca.tw/), where I currently still have the popular posts display of your plugin on the homepage. * Below are my screenshots for your easier understanding. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/vZXs2MW.png?ssl=1) * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/ifnwNlX.png?ssl=1) * Looking forward to your reply, Sliven * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-conditions-cannot-be-displayed-correctly%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * [Ketan Patel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patelketan/) * (@patelketan) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-conditions-cannot-be-displayed-correctly/#post-17401324) * Hello, * Thanks for reaching out to us… * We have checked our plugin in local server and it’s working perfectly… * Please refer to below screenshot and check… 1.

In the meantime, I have conducted various tests, including adding new pages for display, adjusting various caching options in Cloudflare, WordPress plugin caching, and so on, but the issue still persists. * I am currently using a paid theme called MasterStudy, which is the latest version. Even when I create a completely blank new page, the Slider still goes out of my control and does not display according to the correct parameters.
