 * Hi,
    this plugin has everything I was looking for but there is one problem with
   the groups I think. So the point is that if the group name in the shortcode isn’t
   correct or does not exist it shows up all staff. But if so there should be none.
   I already reinstalled the plugin because there was a lot of new code in it but
   no changes. I hope there is a solution for this.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi philipp_ki,
 * So what, exactly, is the issue you’re having?
 * Using `[simple-staff-list group="Group Name"]` should pull the members from that
   group. If you’re using the group slug like `[simple-staff-list group="group-name"]`,
   that will not work.

 * Yeah that’s right. But if there is no member in the group it shows up all the
   other members. I need it the other way around. So if nobody is in the group there
   should be no output.
 * Do you understand what I mean?
 * Thanks for your quick reply!

 * Currently, I don’t have it checking for validity of the group name provided. 
   I’ll fix this in the next version of the plugin.
