[Resolved] limit the number of result

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
How to set a limit and offset in a View Loop?

Solution:
The loop output (amount of) is limited in the View directly, usually in the "Limit and Offset" section.

There is as well a ShortCode attribute - valid just for the View you display and it's set on the ShortCode so you can display this same View with several different settings.

In this case you would not alter the View "Limit and Offset" section." but you would add the ShortCode attribute "limit" to delimit the result.

The loop output (amount of) is limited in the View directly, usually in the "Limit and Offset" section.

Is that what you are looking for?

The ShortCode attribute as you set it is valid just for the View you display and it's set on the ShortCode so you can display this same View with several different settings.
In this case you would not alter the View ""Limit and Offset" section." but you would add the ShortCode attribute "limit" to delimit the result.

I see you tried this in [wpv-view limit="3"] but this is wrong.
The correct ShortCode is inserted with the GUI (Graphical user Interface) and not "manually", resulting in:

[wpv-view name="cp-sear-ch" limit="3"]

That will render a View with 3 results, but only the View it displays (the ShortCode)

Hi Beda,

Thank you very much for your help.
I was looking for "Limit and Offset" section also.. apparently VIEWS under "Display the results using a custom search" option have "content selection" and "ordering" ONLY..

But now i found in that "Limit and Offset" in screen option was not enabled..

everything works fine now.. 🙂

Thank you
