 * Hi Schalk,
 * Yes, it is. We have a short code to do that now:
 * [AWPCPSHOWCAT id=6]
 * Assuming 6 is a valid category id for you.
 * All shortcodes are documented here: [http://awpcp.com/forum/faq/valid-awpcp-shortcodes-3-x/](http://awpcp.com/forum/faq/valid-awpcp-shortcodes-3-x/)

 * If that’s the case, the fault here would lie with the plugin or theme that supports
   the tab shortcode above (I’m not familiar with it, so I’m not sure which)–they
   may not support shortcode expansion inside of their own code. That’s unfortunately
   outside of AWPCP’s control. If you use the shortcode in a place that supports
   shortcode expansion, it will work.

 * Hi, totally understand
 * It is the builtin tab shortcode for woothemes canvas
    Was just hoping it will
   work, as I’m using the same method for the business directory plugin here:
 * [http://outoforder.co.za/tpark/bd-listing/](http://outoforder.co.za/tpark/bd-listing/)
 *     ```
       [tabs style="default"] [tab title="All"][businessdirectory-listings category=11][/tab]
   
       [tab title="Accommodation"][businessdirectory-listings category=15][/tab]
   
       [tab title="Accounting"][WPBUSDIRMANMVIEWLISTINGS category=12][/tab]
   
       [tab title="Agriculture"][WPBUSDIRMANMVIEWLISTINGS category=3][/tab]
   
       [tab title="Architecture"][WPBUSDIRMANMVIEWLISTINGS category=4][/tab]
   
       [tab title="Brokers"][WPBUSDIRMANMVIEWLISTINGS category=5][/tab]

 * Now that’s…odd. That would imply that they ARE expanding shortcodes, but not 
   for everything.
 * Hmmm, can you contact me here and we’ll discuss this further? [http://awpcp.com/contact/](http://awpcp.com/contact/)
