This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to pass an override "limit" into a View using a shortcode attribute.
Solution: Use the "limit" shortcode attribute to pass in an override value for the limit criteria. When inserting a View shortcode, use the Override Settings tab in the popup to specify override criteria.

[wpv-view name="my_view" limit="4"]
I'd like to limit the number of posts displayed from a view loop as an argument in the shortcode rather than in the setting for the entire view itself.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Ethan
Hi, yes it's possible just like you guessed:
[wpv-view name="your-view-slug" limit="2"]
When you use the Fields and Views button to insert a View, there is a tab in the popup called "Override settings". You can set the limit and other pagination overrides here, or add the limit attribute directly to the shortcode.
