Are you encoding the ? (|xq|), the = (|xe|) and the & (|xa|) in that string in the snippet’s parameters?
I need some help... I’ve read through the snippet and the forum support and I can’t figure out how to display ONE post with a description. My feed is from a blog and I want to display the most recent post link with a summary. I don’t want a list of the last 3, 8 or 20 posts. Just the most current. There is an easy solution I am sure but I can’t seem to figure it out. Shouldn’t this be a part of the call? Is this what maxElements is for? That didn’t work. I need direction.
Can someone, please, give me some direction on this? I would really appreciate it!

Yes, the maxElements parameter is what you want. Set debug to 1 to get the debugger; it’s an absolutely amazing tool!

Did you run it with debug on?
yes. I don’t think I know how to properly use the debug. I see all the info in the debug popup but I can’t edit anything. Should I be able to? I am on a mac.

No, but it should help you see what you need to use in your snippet tags. They syntax will be
&maxElements=`CHANNEL(5):ITEM(10)`
This will depend on the name of the elements in your feed, which is where the debug comes in.
You are the queen of MODx!!! Thank you so very much!!!! I really appreciate it!! IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!
I just need to get a handle on the tagging for this one as it is a bit different than what I am used to.
Shalom!

It is a bit different, but very powerful, and handles all different kinds of feeds as well. Quite an impressive "snippet"!
