php only loops 5 times, should loop for each post

Question

i am not skilled in php, so maybe i am overlooking something simple/stupid.

But the following code only seems to loop 5 times (atleast it only outputs 5 sites) While this specific category has 12 sites in it for example.

Am i doing something wrong?

<div class="col-md-3"> <div class="maddos-category-container"> <div class="maddos-category-header"><h3 class="maddos-category-header-title"><a href="<?php echo get_category_link( "17" );?>"><?php echo get_cat_name(17);?></a></h3></div> <div class="maddos-category-wrapper"> <ol> <?php $args = array( 'category' => 17, 'post_type' => 'post' ); $postslist = get_posts( $args ); foreach ($postslist as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endforeach; ?> </div></div></div> </ol>

die(count($postslist)) or var_dump($postslist) would be a good place to start. What does the declaration for get_posts function look like? My guess is one of the arguments is $limit = 5. — ficuscr

Take a look at the docs for get_posts

$args

(array) (Optional) Arguments to retrieve posts. See WP_Query::parse_query() for all available arguments.

'numberposts' (int) Total number of posts to retrieve. Is an alias of $posts_per_page in WP_Query. Accepts -1 for all. Default 5.

So, replace:

$args = array( 'category' => 17, 'post_type' => 'post' );

With

$args = array( 'category' => 17, 'post_type' => 'post', 'numberposts' => -1); //unlimited

I had to wait a few more seconds to accept the answer, but done now :) also learned something new, so also thank you for that!
