 **Usecases:**

 1. If you want to show 10 posts instead of the default 5:

 ⁠
 {{{
 add_filter( 'dashboard_recent_posts_query_args',
 'increase_dashboard_post_count', 10, 2 );
 function increase_dashboard_post_count( $args, $id ) {
     $args['max'] = 10;
     return $args;
 }

 }}}

 2.⁠ ⁠Show Only Posts from a Specific Category in "Recently Published"
 If your site has multiple categories and you want the widget to only show
 posts from the "Announcements" category:

 ⁠
 {{{
 add_filter( 'dashboard_recent_posts_query_args',
 'dashboard_recent_posts_announcements_only', 10, 2 );
 function dashboard_recent_posts_announcements_only( $args, $id ) {
     if ( 'published-posts' === $id ) {
         $args['cat'] = get_cat_ID( 'Announcements' );
     }

     return $args;
 } ⁠
 }}}
