 * Hi,
    I assume you already have it working, but it is rewrite rules that need 
   to be updated after activating the plugin and adding posts. You can do this on
   Settings > Permalinks and saving the settings twice (yes, twice).

 * It working only the plugin’s previous versions. I did rollback, thats why now
   it is working. The problem is only in the latest version.

 * Ouch, that is not good to hear.
    I don’t understand which change in 1.2.1 would
   cause this.
 * Is it possible for you to install the plugin Query Monitor and see if there are
   PHP errors?
 * Also, which PHP version are you using? I see the Sydney theme is active. And 
   the shortcode is used inside a widget from SiteOrigin, correct?
 * If I can reproduce the problem I can probably find a solution.

 * I seen a bug report where you solved an import problem. Maybe there will be the
   problem, but i don’t know.
 * Before 1.20 i tried rollback to 1.16, the import function worked, deleted all
   the entries, tired 1.20, and again worked. But i seen the problem only in 1.21
   maybe the rollback 1.16 made the magic, maybe the 1.20
 * I can install the qhery monitor, but this site is running, and users want to 
   see theese games, i can’t upgrade to 1.21 while the team championship is going
   in my country.
 * Yes, you seen it well: We use Sydney (with child theme) and SieOrigin pagebuilder.
   BUT your plugin can’t use the pagebuilder, only the visual and html editor.
 * We use PHP version 7.3.17
 * if you give me an email adress i can give you the site’s almost entire copy (
   i’ll remove the newsletter data and any other users data) (which i make with 
   duplicator plugin), there are no secrets in it.

 * While i prepare the copy of the site, please allow me an off question:
 * Is there a method to list games only from a specific category? I seen, that the
   plugin can manage categories, but i can’t find a solution to use them like in
   a list with shortcode

 * I sent you the file.
 * The login recaptcha will be working on localhost. With the duplicator’s installer
   you can make yourself an admin right user.
 * If you need anything just reply me.

 * Hi,
    I set up the copy of the website, but it simply works for me. No error message
   in Query Monitor either. I am using php-fpm version 8.0 with Apache.
 * I am sorry, I wish I could reproduce the problem, but it works with 1.2.1 and
   with current git.
 * About the category, I could add that to the shortcode as a parameter.

 * Hi, for the shortcode there is now support for category and tags. The right format
   is part of the FAQ:
 * = I only want to show games from a category or tag. =
 * You can use a shortcode parameter for showing games only from certain categories
   or tags:
 *  [chessgame_shizzle_simple_list category=”213,212″ tag=”345,355″]
 * In case you read this on wordpress.org, the quotes are supposed to be standard
   double quotes, no backticks.
