 * there are instances in which i want the plugin to list posts from the category
   i point it to, and every subcategory under it, which might be too many to add
   them in the shortcode.
 * (i thought this was the default option, but as of the 0.54 update it seems to
   not be doing this anymore).
 * at the same time, there are also instances in which i want the plugin to list
   posts from just the parent category i point it to, and NOT list anything from
   the subcategories. is there any way to toggle this through parameters?
