Tell us what you are trying to do?
I succesfully included a view in a Buddypress template, except that I am not able to limit the number of items shown. In my content template I added [wpv-post-body view_template="loop-item-in-myview" limit="3"] but this does not work.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Hi Hugo,

Thank you for getting in touch.

You are using the shortcode [wpv-post-body view_template="loop-item-in-myview" limit="3"] which is meant to display a post's content.

This means that it wont accept a limit attribute. The limit attribute is meant to be used on the view shortcode directly, here is an example below.

 [wpv-view name="myview" limit="3"]

Please let me know if this clears things up for you.

Thanks,
Shane

OK, I see.
Can I also apply this limit in a php template like
echo render_view( array( 'name' => 'myview' ) );
?

Hi Hugo,

Yes you can.

Just add it like this.

echo render_view( array( 'name' => 'myview' , 'limit'=>'3' ) );

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
