Only 5 post are showing up on custom landing page

On "Creating a Portfolio Landing Page" Bootstrap to Wordpress - I followed the steps to display all of my custom posts but for some reason only 5 are showing up.

<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'movie_list', 'post_per_page' => 10 ); $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>

        <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

        <div class="col-sm-12">
            <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
        </div>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

Hi Christopher,

in $args 'post_per_page' should be 'posts_per_page'

Check your functions.php file and make sure you're not limiting the amount of posts that are displayed there. If you can't find where that would be called - post the code here and we'll figure it out.

Side note, if you want only 10 then stick with the 10 you have set. if you want all of the posts the set the 'posts_per_page' to -1.
