 * Hi lihanlu,
 * Yes, good idea! We’ve just released a new version of the plugin (1.0.2) which
   has a new option to restrict posts to a certain category. If you update the plugin
   you should be able to do something like this:
 * `[posts_data_table category=food]`
 * And it will only show posts from the ‘food’ category. Note that you should use
   the category slug here, not the name of the category. You can find this on the
   Posts -> Categories screen in WordPress.
 * Thanks for your suggestion, we appreciate any other feedback on the plugin.

 * Excellent！
    It’s a really easy way to create a page with single topic.
 * thanks for you support

 * Not at the moment, but I’ll look at that in the next version.
