:::warning[Developer Note]
By default, Joomla limits the number of items returned in list models to the value set in the "**Default List Limit**" configuration, which is typically **20**. This is controlled by the `list.limit` state in your model, usually set in the `populateState()` method.
To remove the limit and retrieve all rows (i.e., disable pagination), set the `list.limit` state to `0` **after** calling the parent populateState() method in your model. Here’s how you can do it:
```php
protected function populateState($ordering = 'word', $direction = 'ASC')
{
parent::populateState($ordering, $direction);

// Set limit to 0 to show all items
$this->setState('list.limit', 0);
}
```
