# [Plugin Category Shortcode] not displaying correct posts

 * I have this set up and it seems really simple. Create the shortcode and add it
   to the page. Trouble is that it doesn’t dsiplay the right posts, i.e. the ones
   for the category selected. I have one Category where there is just one post and
   it displays that one OK but none of the others seem to work, in fact I just get
   a list of the headers of the same page, which isn’t even in that category.
 * Any ideas please
 * Thanks

 * Hi Robert
    Thanks for the response and aplologies for not picking up on it.
 * It was a month ago when I was struggling with this one. It was pretty weird but
   I did use it on a page (NOT post). We are using the category-posts plugin now
   and it is perfect.
 * Thanks anyway for your efforts.
 * Michael
